Answer:

60g

Step-by-step explanation:

The molar mass of a substance (Atom or molecule) is defined as the mass in grams that 1 mole of substance (6x10²³ particles of this substance) weighs. Using the periodic table of elements we can know the molar mass of each atom.

For example, the molar mass of Calcium is 40.078g / mol.

That means the mass of 1.5 moles of calcium atoms must be:

1.5 moles * (40.078g / mol) =

60g
