How many moles of gold is in 10 grams?

You first take 10g of Gold and divide it by 197.0 g of gold (it’s atomic mass)
this should give you about 0.051 moles of Gold

How many gold atoms are found in 10 grams of gold?

First you would take 10g of gold and divide it by 197.0g of gold then you would multiply that number (number of moles in 10g of gold) by Avogadro’s constant 6.022x10^23
You should get about 3.06x10^22 atoms of gold
