To determine the number of atoms in the formula Na2HPO4, we can break it down:
- Na2 means there are 2 sodium (Na) atoms.
- H means there is 1 hydrogen (H) atom.
- P means there is 1 phosphorus (P) atom.
- O4 means there are 4 oxygen (O) atoms.
Now, we can add them up:
- 2 (from Na) + 1 (from H) + 1 (from P) + 4 (from O) = 8 atoms.
So, the correct response is eight.
