Answer:

19.11g

Step-by-step explanation:

mole = mass ÷ molar mass

mole = 2.61 ÷ 27

mole = 0.097mol

Number of atoms in 2.61g of Aluminum = 6.022 × 10^23 × 0.097

= 0.584 × 10^23

= 5.84 × 10^22atoms

To get the same number of atoms for Gold (Au), we multiply the atomic mass of Au by 0.097mol

Atomic mass of Au = 197g/mol

mass = mole × molar mass

mass = 0.097 × 197

mass = 19.109g

mass = 19.11g
