Answer:
1.51×10²³ atoms.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of Calcium (Ca = 10 g
Number of atom of Calcium (Ca) =?
The number of atoms present in 10 g of Ca be obtained as follow:
From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms. This implies that 1 mole Ca contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.
1 mole of Ca = 40 g.
Now, if 40 g of Ca contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.
Therefore, 10 g of Ca will contain = (10 × 6.02×10²³) / 40 = 1.51×10²³ atoms.
Thus, 10 g of calcium contains 1.51×10²³ atoms.
