Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mole of nickel contains 6.02 * 10^23 atoms

3.63 mols of nickel contain x atoms.

What you have is a proportion. A proportion consists of 2 ratios or 4 parts.

Of the 4 parts, you know three of them. The problem is to solve for the 4th.

1/3.63 = 6.02*10^23 / x Cross multiply

x = 3.63 * 6.02* 10^23 Combine the right.

Answer: x = 2.19*10^24 atoms
