Answer:

B. 2.77 · 10^28

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of atoms is ...

(6.02·10^23 atoms/mol)·(4.6·10^4 mol) = (6.02·4.6)·10^(23+4) atoms

≈ 27.7·10^27 atoms

≈ 2.77·10^28 atoms . . . . . . put in scientific notation form

_____

Scientific notation has one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point and the exponent adjusted accordingly.

__

Your calculator can help you figure this out. If necessary, put the display into scientific notation mode. (For numbers this size, it is usually not necessary.)

Answer: B.  [tex]2.77\times10^{28\text{ atoms}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : One mole  of a chemical element contains approximately [tex]6.02\times10^{23}\text{ atoms}[/tex]

Then , the number of atoms present in [tex]4.6\times10^{4}\text{ moles}[/tex] is given by :-

[tex]6.02\times10^{23}\times4.6\times10^{4}\\\\=6.02\times4.6\times10^{23}\times10^{4}[/tex]

Using exponents property:

[tex]a^m\times a^n=a^{m+n}[/tex]

[tex]=27.692\times10^{23+4}\\\\\approx2.77\times10^{23+4+1}=2.77\times10^{28\text{ atoms}}[/tex]
