Answer:
Mass number (A) = No. of protons (Z) + No. of neutrons
But the mass number is given as 31 and the number of protons is 15.
No. of protons (Z) + No. of neutrons = 31
Number of neutrons = 31 – number of protons
Number of neutrons = 31 – 15 = 16

Explanation:
First of all, the atomic mass of oxygen is 16u.
now to calculate the number of neutrons in 12 x 10 raised to the power 25 atoms of oxygen, calculate the number of neutrons in 1 atom of oxygen.
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number
so it is equal to (16 - 8) or simply 8
now multiply it with 6 x 10 raised to the power 23 to get the number of neutrons in one mole of oxygen.
Now multiply it with 2 x 10 raised to the power 2 to get the answer.
