Number of atoms in the following samples of substances is the largest in:
4.0g of hydrogen
71.0g of chlorine
127.0g of iodine
48.0g of magnesium
As we have learnt,
Number of moles = given weight / molecular weight
(i) Moles of hydrogen = 4/2
= 2 moles
Thus, 4 moles of hydrogen atoms
(ii) Moles of chlorine = 71/71
= 1 mole
Thus, 2 moles of chlorine atoms
(iii) Moles of iodine = 127/127
= 1 mole
Thus, 2 moles of iodine atoms
(iv) Moles of Magnesium = 48/24
= 2 moles
Thus, 2 moles of magnesium atoms
Therefore, Option(1) is correct
