Answer:

• 7.64 g Bi = 2.20 x 10²² atoms

• 35.8 g P = 6.95 x 10²³ atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the number of moles in each sample:

no. of moles = mass ÷ molar mass (RMM)

• 7.64 g Bi = 7.64 ÷ 209

= 0.03656 mol

• 35.8 g P = 35.8 ÷ 31

= 1.155 mol

Then multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's constant (6.02x10²³):

0.03656 x 6.02x10²³ = 2.20 x 10²² atoms

• 1.155 x 6.02x10²³ = 6.95 x 10²³ atoms
