Solution :-

Given: Atomic mass of Na=23u, Atomic mass of Fe= 56u

To calculate the number of atoms in 100g of sodium:

23g of Na contains = 6.022 X 1023 atoms

1g of Na contains = 6.022 X 1023 atoms / 23

100g of Na contains = 6.022 X 1023 atoms X 100 / 23

= 2.6182 X 1024 atoms

To calculate the number of atoms in 100g of sodium:

56g of Fe contains = 6.022 X 1023 atoms

1g of Fe contains = 6.022 X 1023 atoms / 56

100g of Fe contains = 6.022 X 1023 atoms X 100 / 56

= 1.075 X 1024 atoms

Hence, through comparison, it is evident that 100g of Na has more atoms
