To determine which option contains the highest number of helium atoms, we need to analyze each option based on the amount of helium it represents and apply Avogadro's Law as required.

Option A: $4 \, \text{mol}$ of helium

Using Avogadro's number, which is approximately $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ atoms per mole, the number of helium atoms in 4 moles can be calculated as:

$$4 \, \text{mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms/mol} = 24.088 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms}$$

Option B: $4 \, \text{u}$ of helium

The atomic mass of helium is approximately 4 u (atomic mass units). Therefore, $4 \, \text{u}$ represents about 1 mole of helium atoms (since the molar mass of helium is approximately 4 g/mol, which equals 4 u). Thus, this option represents:

$$1 \, \text{mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms/mol} = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms}$$

Option C: $4 \, \text{g}$ of helium

Similarly, as we've established that the molar mass of helium is 4 g/mol, $4 \, \text{g}$ of helium equates exactly to:

$$1 \, \text{mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms/mol} = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms}$$

Option D: $2.271098 \, \text{L}$ of helium at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure)

At STP, one mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 L. Therefore, the amount of helium in moles for $2.271098 \, \text{L}$ can be derived from:

$$\frac{2.271098 \, \text{L}}{22.4 \, \text{L/mol}} \approx 0.101 \, \text{mole}$$

Using this to find the number of atoms:

$$0.101 \, \text{mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms/mol} \approx 6.082 \times 10^{22} \, \text{atoms}$$

Conclusion:

Comparing the numbers:

• Option A: $$24.088 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms}$$
• Option B: $$6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms}$$
• Option C: $$6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms}$$
• Option D: $$6.082 \times 10^{22} \, \text{atoms}$$

Option A clearly contains the highest number of helium atoms, which is $$24.088 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms}.$$
