Answer:

3 Ca

3 S

12 O

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 3 moles of Ca(SO4)

Therefore you multiply the subscript of each atom of the compound by 3.

Ca and S have a understood subscript of 1 so there are three of each.

There are 4 oxygen atoms in one mole of CaSO4 so in 3 moles there would be 4*3 so 12
