Hi there!
We can use the following conversions to solve:
Total mass --> amount of mols --> amount of atoms (Avogadro's number)
Begin by calculating the amount of boron trifluoride in 3.61 grams:
3.61 g * (1 mol BF₃ / 67.8 g) ≈ 0.0532 mol BF₃
Use avogadro's number to convert:
0.0532 mol * 6.02× 10²³atoms / 1 mol = 3.203 × 10²² atoms
3.0e23 atoms Ne
"E" means 10^
Then we multiply it by a mole of Ne. By the definetion of a mole, it is always 6.022e23 atoms of an element.
So now, we do this:
3.0e23 atoms Ne x (1 mol Ne / 6.022e23 atoms Ne)
After that, we use molar mass. A mole of Neon is equal, in terms of grams, to its avg. atomic mass. This goes true for any element.
It ends up like this:
3.0e23 atoms Ne x (1 mol Ne / 6.022e23 atoms Ne) x (20.1797 g Ne / 1 mol Ne)
Now cancel out the "atoms Ne" and "1 mol Ne"
You end up with a grand total of...
*plugs everything into a calculator*
10.05298... g Ne.
We need to round to 2 sig. figs. (3.0) so now it's....
10 g Ne.
Note that this method can only be used for converting atoms of an element to mass in grams.

<span>Fungal diseases are difficult to treat mainly because they are eukaryotic organisms just like us humans, and therefore have less differences for drugs to target without harming the human body as well. Most antibiotics target e.g. the peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial (a prokaryote) cell wall, which is a safe target since eukaryotic cells do not have equivalent structures. Similarly many differences in metabolic pathways between humans and prokaryotes is often targeted by antibiotics, but metabolism of fungi and humans is much more uniform, and hence it is difficult to exclusively target the fungi only.
HOPE THIS HELPS!
