Answer:

38.1g

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the molar mass of aluminum (Al): 26.98 g/mol

Convert the number of atoms of Al to moles of Al:

8.50×10^23 atoms Al × (1 mol Al/6.022×10^23 atoms Al) = 1.41 mol Al

Calculate the mass of Al in the foil using the molar mass:

1.41 mol Al × 26.98 g/mol = 38.1 g

Therefore, the mass of the aluminum foil is 38.1 g.
