n=amount in moles
N=amount in numbers=2.98x10^22
L=Avagadro's constant=mole-1(6.022x10^23)
m= mass in grams
M=molar mass in g/mol
Now,
n=N/L
=2.98x10^22/6.022x10^23
=0.0495 mol ≈0.05 mol
Then,
M=m/n
=4/0.05
=80 g/mol
The element is Br

m = 4 g; N = 2.98 * 10^22
Avogadro constant: L = 6.022 * 10^23
Number of moles:
n = 2.98 * 10^22 : 6.022 * 10^23 = 0.298 * 10^23 : 6.022 * 10^23 =
= 0.0495 moles
Molar mass:
M = m/n = 4 g / 0.0495 = 80.8 ≈ 80
