Answer:

8.03x10^23 atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 atoms.

This means that 1mole of potassium will also contain 6.02x10^23 atoms

1 mole of potassium = 39g

Now we can the above question as follows.

If 1 mole(i.e 39g) of potassium contains 6.02x10^23 atoms, then 52g of potassium will contain

= (52 x 6.02x10^23) /39 = 8.03x10^23 atoms
