Answer:

32.92 moles of Mg

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert grams to moles (Or vice versa) of any chemical compound we need to use the molar mass of the substance (That is, how many grams weighs 1 mole of the chemical).

The magnesium, Mg, has a molar mass of 24.305g/mol. That means in 800.0g of Mg you have:

800.0g * (1mol / 24.305g) =

32.92 moles of Mg
