#1.25# moles of #O_2#

First, we need to calculate the molar mass of oxygen gas.

Oxygen gas is #O_2#.

#O_2# has a molar mass of #32g"/"mol#.

#:."Moles"_(O_2)=(40g)/(32g"/"mol)#

#:."Moles"_(O_2)=(40cancelg)/(32cancelg"/"mol)#

#"Moles"_(O_2)=1.25mol#

#:.# There are #1.25# moles of #O_2# in #40g# of oxygen gas.

1.25

Molar mass of oxygen gas (#O_2#) = 32gm

So,

no of moles #= 40/32#

no of moles #= 1.25#
