Answer:

c) 1.55 ×10⁻² moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of sodium = ?

Number of atoms = 9.34 ×10²¹ atoms

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

Moles of sodium atoms:

1 mole contain 6.022× 10²³ atoms

9.34 ×10²¹ atoms × 1 mol / 6.022× 10²³ atoms

1.55 ×10⁻² moles
