6.02* 10^24 means 1 molecule of any substance
:. It means 1 mole of Hcl
:. To find the mass of HcL
no of moles = mass/ molar mass
To get the molar mass of HCL {H=1 CL=35.5}
:. H+CL = 1+ 35.5 =36.5
So we have our molar mass and number of moles now
Then we input it in the eqn
1=x/36.5
X= 36.5g of HCl

Answer:

First, we need to determine the molar mass of HCl.

The molar mass of HCl = the mass of hydrogen (1.008 g/mol) + the mass of chlorine (35.45 g/mol) = 36.45 g/mol.

Next, we can use Avogadro's number (6.02 x 10^23 molecules/mol) to convert the number of molecules to moles:

6.02 x 10^24 molecules / 6.02 x 10^23 molecules/mol = 10 moles

Finally, we can use the molar mass to convert moles to grams:

10 moles x 36.45 g/mol = 364.5 grams

Therefore, the mass of 6.02 x 10^24 molecules of HCl is 364.5 grams.
