There are 5.35 × 10²⁴ atoms in 8.89 moles of Helium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that number of moles of Helium = 8.89 moles

Moles and Avogadro's number are related to each other by multiplying those two we can convert moles into atoms, molecules and Particles .

We have to convert the moles into atoms by multiplying the molar amount by Avogadro's number as,

Number of atoms = 8.89 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

= 5.35 × 10²⁴ atoms

So there are 5.35 × 10²⁴ atoms in 8.89 moles of Helium.
