Question: how many atoms are in the element gold?
Answer: How many atoms are there in one ounce of pure gold? An ounce is 28 grams, and the atomic weight of gold is 197. The sample contains 28 ÷ 197 = 0.14 moles. Multiplying this by Avogadro's number tells you the number of atoms in the sample = 8.43 x 1022 atoms.
