The atomic mass of gold is 197. So 5 moles would be 5 (197) = 985 grams. About 2.17 lbs, or 31.7 troy ounces--roughly $35,000 in today's market.

First of all, we know that one mole is equal to the atomic number of an element.

The atomic number of gold is 197.0g Au

And we need to find 5 moles.

5 * 197.0 g Au = 985.0g

Grams is used to measure mass.

Answer:
985.0g
