The half reaction with the the greater SRP has a greater tendency to gain electrons is the definition of reduction potential when considering a pair of half cell reactions.This reduction potential is measured against hydrogen electrode which is standard electrode.
CO2 is the emperical formula of carbon dioxide
In order to calculate the number of atoms, we must first know the number of moles present. And
moles = (mass present) / (molecular mass)
Therefore, the moles of Mg present are
170 / 24 = 7.08
The number of atoms in a mole of substance is given by Avagadro's Number which is 6.02 x 10^23
Since there are 7.08 moles, there are:
7.08 * 6.02*10^23
= 4.26 * 10^24 atoms
