Step-by-step explanation:


4Na_3PO_4 is a compound which consists of four moles of oxygen, phosphorus and oxygen.

Number of sodium atom in
4Na_3PO_4 is,
4* 3=12\ atoms

Number of phosphorus atom in
4Na_3PO_4 is,
4* 1=4\ atoms

Number of oxygen atom in
4Na_3PO_4 is,
4* 4=16\ atoms

Hence, the no of atoms of each element are as follows :

Sodium, Na = 12 atoms

Phosphorus, P = 4 atoms

Oxygen, O = 16 atoms

Hence, this is the required solution.
