  2. B.

    46 g Na

  3. C.

    0.40 g Ca

  4. D.

    12 g He

Attempted by 61 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Use the formula: number of moles = given mass / molar mass.

  • 4 g He: 4 / 4 = 1 mole

  • 46 g Na: 46 / 23 = 2 moles

  • 0.40 g Ca: 0.40 / 40 = 0.01 mole

  • 12 g He: 12 / 4 = 3 moles

The number of atoms is proportional to the number of moles, so 12 g He contains the highest number of atoms.
