Answer:

The answer to your question is: 8.01 x 10²⁵ atoms of helium

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Helium mass = 532 kg

Also from the periodic table:

He atomic mass = 4 gr

Avogrado's number: 6.023 x 10 ²³

Process (rule of three)

1 mol of helium ------------------- 4 kg

x moles of helium --------------- 532 kg

x = 532 x 1 / 4 = 133 moles of helium

1 mol of helium ----------------- 6.023 x 10²³ atoms

133 moles of helium ----------- x atoms of helium

atoms of helium = 133 x 6.023 x 10²³ / 1 = 8.01 x 10²⁵
