    Answer: The number of phosphorus atoms in given amount of copper(II) phosphate is 8.431\times 10^{24}

    Explanation:

    We are given:

    Moles of copper(II) phosphate Cu_3(PO_4)_2 = 7.00 mol

    1 mole of copper(II) phosphate contains 3 moles of copper, 2 moles of phosphorus and 8 moles of oxygen atoms

    Moles of phosphorus in copper(II) phosphate = (2\times 7.00mol

    According to the mole concept:

    1 mole of a compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of particles

    So, 7.00 moles of copper(II) phosphate will contain = (2\times 7\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=8.431\times 10^{24} number of phosphorus atoms.

    Hence, the number of phosphorus atoms in given amount of copper(II) phosphate is 8.431\times 10^{24}
