Answer:

The answer is

0.0089 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula


n = (N)/(L) \\

From the question

N = 5.38 × 10²¹ atoms of sodium

We have


n = \frac{5.38 * {10}^(21) }{6.02 * {10}^(23) } \\ = 0.00893687...

We have the final answer as

0.0089 moles

Hope this helps you
