A sealed flask contains a mixture of 2.30 g of nitrogen dioxide, NO2\mathrm{NO_2}NO2, and 1.60 g of oxygen, O2\mathrm{O_2}O2.
A sample bottle contains 2.50 g of carbon, C\mathrm{C}C.
Relative atomic mass (ArA_rAr): C = 12.0, N = 14.0, O = 16.0
Avogadro constant = 6.02×1023 mol−16.02 \times 10^{23}\,\mathrm{mol^{-1}}6.02×1023mol−1
Calculate whether the flask or the sample bottle contains the greater total number of atoms, and how many more atoms it contains. Show your working.
