Answer:
Explanation:
Deal with 1 mole first.
The chemical formula of Magnesium Phosphate is
Mg3(PO4)2
The 2 tells you that there are 2 mols of Phosphorus in the chemical.
1 mol of anything is 6.02 * 10^23 (in this case) atoms.
2 mols of anything is 12.04 * 10^23 atoms
2 moles of anything is 1.204 * 10^24 (the 2 answers are the same. This one is more correct in scientific notation.)
Now we come to the 5.01. Where does that go?
5.01 * Mg3(PO4)2
So multiply 1.204 * 10^24 by 5.01 When you do, you get
7.26 * 10^24 atoms
