How do I convert 2.4 x 10^21 formula units of magnesium hydroxide to grams?

Are you taking chemistry at the same time? If not, this is a pretty hard question. 

Facts

1. As a formula unit,  Magnesium Hydroxide has a chemical formula of Mg(OH)2 
2. That means for every Magnesium, there are 2 oxygens and 2 hydrogens
3. The weights of these components are found on a periodic table. Since every periodic table is different, I'm going to approximate the results.

Mg = 24
O  = 16
H = 1
 
4. One mole of anything has 6.02 * 10^23 (in this case) formula units associated with it.

Step One
Find the number of grams in 1 formula unit using the numbers from the periodic table.

1 Mg = 1 * 24 = 24
2 O = 2 * 16 = 32
2 H = 2 * 1 = 2
Total = 58 grams

So 
1 mole of Mg(OH)2 = 58 grams

1 mole / 6.02 * 10 ^23 formula units =  x mole / 2.4 * 10 ^ 21 formula units
Cross multiply

1 mole * 2.4 * 10^21 formula units = x mole * 6.02 * 10^23 formula units.
Divide both sides by 6.02 * 10^23

1 * 2.4 * 10^21 / 6.02 * 10 ^ 23 = x
x = 0.003987 moles

Now do this again for grams
1 mole / 58 grams = 0.003987 mole / x grams  Cross multiply
1 mole * x   = 0.003987 * 58 grams
x = 0.2232 grams <<<<< Answer

Z is proportional to x^3. describe exactly what will happen to x when z became 8 times greater
Reil [10]

Answer: x is doubled.

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship between x and y is written as:

y = k*x

where k is called the constant of proportionality.

In this case, we know that we have a proportional relationship between z and x^3

Then:

z = k*x^3

What will happen to x when z is 8 times greater?

Let's rewrite this equation for two new quantities, z' and x'

z' = k*(x')^3

Now we need to replace z' by 8*z, then:

8*z =  k*(x')^3

We want to find a relationship between x' and x.

And by the first relationship, we know that:

z =  k*x^3

Then we can replace this in the equation "8*z =  k*(x')^3" to get:

8*(k*x^3) =  k*(x')^3

8*k*x^3 = k*(x')^3

Now we can divide both sides by k, so we get:

8*x^3 = (x')^3

Now we can apply the cubic root to both sides, to get:

∛(8*x^3) = ∛(x')^3

∛(8)*x = x'

2*x = x'

Then when we increase the value of z 8 times, the value of x will be doubled.

Dominique can ice cupcakes twice as fast as Houston. When they work together, Dominique and Houston can ice a large order of cup
olganol [36]
This is a work problem. It can be solved as follows:

Houston = 1/x
Dominique = (1/2x)
Together = 1/5

Then, we add Houston and Dominique:

1/x + 1/2x = 1/5

Solve for x,

x = 2/15

Therefore, it would take 15/2 hours for Houston to ice by himself, the last option.
