Use dimensional analysis to solve this problem. First calculate the molecular mass of CO2. This is found by (use a Periodic Table) adding 12.011g of C to (15.999g x2) grams of Oxygen. Once you do that, you find out that 44.009g are in 1 mole of CO2. Now, simply by looking at the equation of CO2, we can tell that 2 moles of oxygen atoms are in 1 mole of Co2 (look at the subscript for Oxygen). Now, your dimensional analysis should look like this:

254g CO2 x 1 mole CO2/44.009g CO2 x 2 mole Oxygen/1 mole CO2

The answer is 11.5 moles of Oxygen in 254g of CO2.

How mony moles of oxygen atoms do 1.5 moles of Co2 contain?

0.75 moles of any substance is 0.75(6.02x1023) = 4.52x1023 particles. If those particles are CO2 molecules, and each molecule has 2 oxygen atoms, then it's 2(4.52x1023) = 9.04x1023 oxygen atoms.
