ANSWER

The number of moles of helium is 4.0 mol

Step-by-step explanation

Given information


\text{ The number of helium atoms is 2.4}*10^(24)\text{ atoms}

To find the number of moles of helium, follow the steps below

Step 1: Write the formula for calculating the number of moles


\text{ Mole }\frac{\text{ number of atoms}}{\text{ Avogadro's number}}
\text{ Recall, that Avogadro's number is 6.022}*10^(23)

Step 2: Substitute the given data into the formula in step 1


\begin{gathered} \text{ Mole = }\frac{\text{ number of atoms}}{\text{ Avogadro's number}} \\ \text{ } \\ \text{ Mole = }(2.4*10^(24))/(6.022*10^(23)) \\ \\ \text{ Mole = }(2.4)/(6.022)*10^(24-23) \\ \\ \text{ Mole = 0.3985}*10 \\ \text{ Mole = 3.985} \\ Mole\approx4.0\text{ mol} \end{gathered}

Hence, the number of moles of helium is 4.0 mol
