To find the number of moles of helium in 52 grams of helium, follow these steps:

1. **Determine the molar mass of helium.**
- Helium (He) has an atomic mass of approximately 4 grams per mole.

2. **Use the formula for calculating moles:**

\[
\text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{Mass of the substance (in grams)}}{\text{Molar mass (in grams per mole)}}
\]

Here, the mass of helium is 52 grams, and the molar mass of helium is 4 grams per mole.

\[
\text{Number of moles} = \frac{52 \text{ grams}}{4 \text{ grams per mole}} = 13 \text{ moles}
\]

So, the number of moles of helium in 52 grams of helium is **13**.

The correct answer is **B) 13**.
