Given:

Given molar mass of Potassium = 195.49 grams/mol

Molar mass of Potassium =40 grams/mol

Determine the number of atoms in K.

Solution:

In order to determine the number of atoms, we simply need to use the general conversion method, and avogadros number, 6.023 x 10^23.

=(195.49 grams/mol)(6.023 x 10^23 / 40 grams/mol)

The unit grams per mol cancels.

= 2.94 x 10^24 atoms

Final answer:

= 2.94 x 10^24 atoms
