Answer:


\huge{7.475 * {10}^( - 10) \: \: moles}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula


n = (N)/(L) \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question

N = 4.5×10^14 chlorine atoms

We have


n = \frac{4.5 * {10}^(14) }{6.02 * {10}^(23) } = 7.475 * {10}^( - 10) \\

We have the final answer as


7.475 * {10}^( - 10) \: \: moles

Hope this helps you
