Answer

$N_{Pb} = 6.24 \times 10^{18}$

Work Step by Step

The mass of a single $^{206}Pb$ atom is, $m_{Pb} = 206 u \times 1.661 \times 10^{-24} g/u $ $m_{Pb} = 3.42 \times 10^{-22} g$ so the number of $^{206}Pb$ atom in $2.135 \times 10^{–3} g$ is $N_{Pb} = \frac{2.135 \times 10^{–3} g}{3.42 \times 10^{-22} g}$ $N_{Pb} = 6.24 \times 10^{18}$
