    The atomic number of an element is the number of protons found in one atom of the element. In order to determine the total number of protons, we must find the number of atoms present in the gold. We do this by first calculating the moles:

    moles = mass / molecular mass

    moles = 10.8 / 197

    moles = 0.055

    Next, we know that one mole of substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms. So the atoms are:

    0.055 * 6.02 x 10²³

    There are 3.31 x 10²² atoms

    Each atom contains 79 protons. The total protons are:

    79 * 3.31 x 10²²

    There are a total of 2.61 x 10²⁴ protons
