Detailed Solution

One mole of any substance has Avogadro number of atoms, ions or molecules. This number is 6.02×1023.

To calculate the total number of atoms in a mole, first figure out how many atoms make up one mole of calcium hydroxide. Then multiply that amount by the Avogadro number.

Each molecule of Ca(OH)2 has a total of five atoms, one of calcium, two of oxygen and two of hydrogen.

Each atom of Ca(OH)2 has 6.02×1023 atoms per mole. 

 A mole of calcium hydroxide has 5×6.02×1023 atoms.

Hence option (B) is correct.
