Answer 1

To determine how many atoms are represented in the formula Na2HPO4, we need to break down the components of the formula:

• Na: 2 sodium atoms
• H: 1 hydrogen atom
• P: 1 phosphorus atom
• O: 4 oxygen atoms

Now, we add these together:

2 (Na) + 1 (H) + 1 (P) + 4 (O) = 8 atoms total.

Therefore, the correct response is eight.
