Answer: 1.2044 × 10^24
Explanation:
1 mole of calcium is 40 gram
Based on Avogadro's law:
1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms, also 1 mole of calcium is 40gram
So, 1 mole of calcium = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms
Also, 1 mole of calcium is 40gram
40 grams of calcium = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms
80.156 grams of calcium = Z atoms
To get the value of Z, cross multiply:
Z atoms x 40 grams = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms x 80.156 grams
40Z = 482.54 x 10^23
Z = (482.54 x 10^23/40)
Z = 12.06 x 10^23
Put result in standard form
Z = 1.206 x 10^24 atoms
Thus, 1.206 x 10^24 atoms of Ca are present in 80.156 grams of Ca
