1. d.4.125 x 10²⁴ atoms

2. c. 487.73 g

Further explanation

The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance

1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles

Can be formulated

N=n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³

1. 7 moles of phosphorus, so n=7, then number of atoms :


\tt N=7* 6.02* 10^(23)\\\\N=4.215* 10^(24)

2. 2.5 moles of Pt, so n=2.5, the mass of Pt(MW=195,084 g/mol) :


\tt mass=mol* MW\\\\mass=2.5* 195,084\\\\mass=487.73~g
