Answer:

The answer to your question is 478.2 g of Ca

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass of Ca = ?

atoms of Ca = 7.2 x 10²⁴

Process

To solve this problem you must remember that 1 mol of any substance equals Avogadro's number.

1.- Look for the atomic number of Calcium

Atomic number = 40 g

2.- Use proportions to calculate the atoms of Ca

40 g of Ca ------------------ 6.023 x10²³ atoms

x ------------------ 7.2 x 10²⁴ atoms

x = (40 x 7.2 x 10²⁴) / 6.023 x 10²³

x =2.88 x 10²⁶ / 6.023 x 10²³

x = 478.2 g
