Answer:

5.9x10²² atoms of Cu are in one naira coin

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we need to find the mass of Copper. Then, using its molar mass (Cu = 63.546g/mol) we must find the moles of Cu and its atoms using Avogadro's number:

Mass Cu:

7.3g * 86% = 6.278g is the mass of Cu.

Moles Cu:

6.278g * (1mol / 63.546g) = 0.099moles Cu

Atoms Cu:

0.099moles Cu * (6.022x10²³atoms / 1mol) =

5.9x10²² atoms of Cu are in one naira coin
