Answer

$Zinc = 3.3\times10^{24}atoms\\ Copper = 5.7\times10^{24} atoms$

Work Step by Step

1. Total mass = Density x volume $8.48\times112.5=954\ g$ 2. Multiply total mass by percent to find how much zinc weighs and how much copper weighs. $0.37\times954=352.98g\ Zn$ $(.100-.37)\times954=601.02g\ Cu$ 3. find the moles of each compound $601.02/63.55= 9.46\ Mol\ of\ Cu$ 4. Multiply moles by $6.022\times10^{23}$ for the amount of atoms = $5.7\times10^{24} atoms\ of\ Cu$ 5. Do the same for zinc, $352.98/65 38 =5.4 Mol$ $5.4\times 6.022\times10^{23}=3.3\times10^{24}atoms\ of\ Zn$
