Answer:

1.07 g Ba

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of the Avogadro's number and the molar mass, it is possible to say that 6.022x10^{23} atoms of barium equal one mole, and at the same time, 1 mole equals 137.327 grams of this element; thus, it is possible to say that 6.022x10^{23} atoms of barium have a mass of 137.327 grams; therefore, it i possible for us to calculate the required mass in grams as shown below:


4.69x10^(21)atoms*(137.327gBa)/(6.022x10^(23) atoms) \\\\=1.07gBa

Best regards!
