1 Given data :-

• Atoms of gold in gold ring =N= 1.810^24

,

• 1 mole of any substance contains Avagadro's number of atoms.

,

• Avagadro's number = NA = 6.02 x 10^23

2. Calculate number of moles :

number of moles (n) = number of atoms (N) / Avagadro's number (NA)

=1.810^24 /6.02 x 10^23

=18/6.02

=2.999

≈3 moles of Au

• This means that a gold ring that contains 1.806 x 1024 atoms of gold (Au) has 3 moles . Option 4 i
