Answer:

The answer to your question is 131.43 grams of MgBr₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

number of grams = ?

number of atoms = 4.3 x 10²³

Molecule = MgBr₂

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of MgBr₂

MgBr₂ = 24.3 + (79.9 x 2) = 24.3 + 159.8 = 184.1 g

2.- Use proportions to calculate the number of atoms

184.1 g of MgBr₂ -------------- 6.023 x 10²³ atoms

x -------------- 4.3 x 10²³ atoms

x = (4.3 x 10²³ x 184.1) / 6.023 x 10²³

x = 7.92 x 10²⁵ / 6.023 x 10²³

x = 131.43 grams
