Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

2.1 × 10²⁶ atoms Cs

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of Cs - 132.91 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

  1. Set up:
    \displaystyle 2.1 \cdot 10^(26) \ atoms \ Cs((1 \ mol \ Cs)/(6.022 \cdot 10^(23) \ atoms \ Cs))((132.91 \ g \ Cs)/(1 \ mol \ Cs))
  2. Divide/Multiply:
    \displaystyle 46348.6 \ g \ Cs

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

46348.6 g Cs ≈ 46000 g Cs
