Answer:


m_(Hg)=829.4gHg

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, considering the Avogadro's number, which helps us to realize that 1 mole of mercury atoms contains 6.022x10²³ atoms and at the same time 1 mole of mercury weights 200.59 g, we obtain:


m_(Hg)=2.49x10^(24)atoms*(1mol)/(6.022x10^(23)atoms) *(200.59g)/(1molHg)\\\\m_(Hg)=829.4gHg

Best regards!
