Explanation:
To convert atoms to moles, Avogadro's Number must be used: 6.022*10²³.
This tells us the amount of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case it is the atoms of potassium. We can create a ratio.
Multiply by the given number of moles: 15.2
The moles of potassium cancel.
The denominator of 1 can be ignored.
Multiply.
The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated that is the hundredth place. The 3 in the thousandth place tells us to leave 5.
In 15.2 moles of potassium, there are <u>9.15*10²⁴ atoms of potassium.</u>
