• Using Dimensional Analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

3.75 × 10²⁵ atoms Ca

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

Step 3: Convert

1. Set up:
   `\displaystyle 3.75 \cdot 10^(25) \ atoms \ Ca((1 \ mol \ Ca)/(6.022 \cdot 10^(23) \ atoms \ Ca))`
2. Multiply/Divide:
   `\displaystyle 62.2717 \ mol \ Ca`

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

62.2717 mol Ca ≈ 62.3 mol Ca
