Step-by-step explanation:

According to the mole concept, 1 mole of every atom contains
6.022 * 10^(23) atoms.

It is given that mass is 165 g and molar mass of calcium atom is 40.078 g/mol.

Hence, number of moles of calcium atom will be calculated as follows.

No. of moles =
\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

=
(165 g)/(40.078 g/mol)

= 4.117 mol

Therefore, atoms present in 4.117 mol of calcium are as follows.


4.117 mol * 6.022 * 10^(23) atoms/mol.

=
24.792 * 10^(23) atoms

Thus, we can conclude that there are
24.792 * 10^(23) atoms in 165 g of calcium.
