    The equation is: C+O2=>CO2

    Since we got 10 molecules of CO2 new balanced equation would be 10C+10O2=>10CO2

    from this equation we can see that we have 10 molecules of oxygen, however, we need to find atoms. There are 2 atoms in the oxygen molecule so we need to multiply 10 by 2 which gives us 20 atoms.

    The answer: there are 20 atoms of oxygen
