Answer:

0.41678 g As

Explanation:

First convert from number of atoms to number of moles

3.35 x 10^21 atoms As x (1 mol As / 6.022x10^23 atoms As)

Cross out "atoms"

(3.35 x 10^21 / 6.022 x 10^23) mol As

Solve for number of moles

0.5563 x 10^-2 mol As

Convert number of moles of arsenic to grams of arsenic

0.5563 x 10^-2 mol As x (74.92 g As / 1 mol As)

Cross out "mol As"

0.5563 x 10^-2 x 74.92 g

Solve for grams

0.41678 g
