The answer is: 8.14·10⁶³ moles of lithium are present.

N (Li₂SO₄) = 2.45·10⁸⁷; number of formula units of lithium sulfate.

n (Li₂SO₄) = N (Li₂SO₄) : Na.

n (Li₂SO₄) = 2.45·10⁸⁷ : 6.022·10²³ 1/mol.

n (Li₂SO₄) = 4.07·10⁶³ mol; amount of lithium sulfate

In one molecule of lithium sulfate, there are two atoms of lithium.

n (Li₂SO₄) : n (Li) = 1 : 2.

n (Li) = 2 · 4.07·10⁶³ mol.

n (Li) = 8.14·10⁶³ mol; amount of lithium atoms.
