Answer:

The answer is option B

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of atoms we must first calculate the number of moles

Molar mass = mass / number of moles

number of moles = mass / Molar mass

Molar mass (K) = 39.10mole

mass = 2.10g

number of moles = 2.10/ 39.10

= 0.0537mol

After that we use the formula

N = n × L

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10^23 entities

Number of K atoms is

N = 0.0537 × 6.02 × 10^13

N = 3.23×10^22 atoms of K

Hope this helps you.
