m(P4) = 0.350 mol * 124g/mol = 43.4 g
N(P4) = 0.350 mol * 6.02 * 10^23 mol^-1 = 2.107 *10^23 molecules
n(P) = 4n(P4)
n(P) = 4*0.350 mol = 1.4 mol;
N(P) = 1.4 mol * 6.02 *10^23 mol^-1 = 8.428*10^23 atoms

Dear I, there was a mistake. Not 128g/mol, but 124 g/mol: it is a molecular weight of P4 molecule (4*M(P)=4*31g/mol=124g/mol)

where did you get 128g/mol
