Calculate the number of atoms in $120 \, g$ of calcium and $120 \, g$ of iron. Which one has more number of atoms and what is the difference? (Given: atomic mass of calcium $= 40 \, u$ and iron $= 56 \, u$)

  • A
    $18.066 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $Ca$,$12.887 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $Fe$; $Ca$ has more; difference $= 5.179 \times 10^{23}$
  • B
    $12.044 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $Ca$,$18.066 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $Fe$; $Fe$ has more; difference $= 6.022 \times 10^{23}$
  • C
    $18.066 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $Ca$,$12.887 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $Fe$; $Fe$ has more; difference $= 5.179 \times 10^{23}$
  • D
    $12.044 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $Ca$,$12.887 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $Fe$; $Ca$ has more; difference $= 0.843 \times 10^{23}$
