The Avogadro number represents the number of units in one mole of a chemical substance.
So to find the mole number of a chemical element, you divide its atom number of the Avogadro number which Na = 6.02*10^23 approx.
So n=N/Na (n=mole number, N=number of atoms, Na=Avogadro number)
n=1.0*10^15/6.02*10^23
n=1.6 * 10^-9

So 1.0*10^15 atoms of Sodium represent 1.6*10^-9 mol.

Hope this Helps! :)

Answer:

The moles of sodium are
1.6606* 10^(-9) moles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Moles of sodium = n

Number of atoms of sodium , N =
1.0* 10^(15)


N=n* N_A

Where ,
N_A= 6.022\time 10^(23) mol^(-1) atoms/ molecules (Avogadro number)


n=(N)/(N_A)=(1.0* 10^(15))/(6.022\time 10^(23) mol^(-1))

n =
1.6606* 10^(-9) moles

The moles of sodium are
1.6606* 10^(-9) moles.
