lar mass of Ca = 40.08 grams/mole 77.4 g Ca * ( 1 mole Ca/ 40.08 ... n = m / M 1mol Caweights 40 gmol-1 n = 77,4 / 40 = 1.93 mol.

Answer: 1.94 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number
6.023* 10^(23) of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

Given mass = 77.4 g

Molar mass = 40 g/mol

Putting in the values:

$\text{Number of moles}=(77.4g)/(40g/mol)=1.94$

Thus 1.94 moles of calcium atoms are there in 77.4 g of Ca.
