If the sample has a density of 2.72 g/cm^3 , how many oxygen atoms does it contain?
Please help me. I'm lost and would appreciate it if someone could explain the answer to me.

Supposing the missing units on "2.505" to be "cm":
(2.505 cm)^3 / (2.72 g/cm^3) / (100.0875 g CaCO3/mol) x
(6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol) x (3 atoms O / 1 molecule CaCO3) =
7.72 x 10^23 atoms O
(2.505 cm)^3 / (2.72 g/cm^3) / (100.0875 g CaCO3/mol) x
(6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol) x (3 atoms O / 1 molecule CaCO3) =
7.72 x 10^23 atoms O
