I think you mean “How many atoms are in an apple?” — here’s a quick estimate.
Take a medium apple of about 100 g. Two simple approximations:
1) Treat the apple as mostly water (H2O, 18 g/mol):
- moles = 100 g / 18 g·mol⁻¹ ≈ 5.56 mol
- molecules = 5.56 × 6.022×10^23 ≈ 3.35×10^24
- atoms (3 atoms per H2O) ≈ 1.0×10^25
2) Treat the apple as typical organic matter (approximate formula CH2O, 30 g/mol, 4 atoms per formula unit):
- moles = 100 g / 30 g·mol⁻¹ ≈ 3.33 mol
- molecules = 3.33 × 6.022×10^23 ≈ 2.01×10^24
- atoms (4 atoms per unit) ≈ 8.03×10^24
So a 100 g apple contains on the order of 10^25 atoms. For a larger apple (150 g) scale these numbers up proportionally; typical answers are in the range 10^24–10^26 depending on apple size and exact composition.
