Answer:
Step 1 should be convert atoms to moles (n). Step 2 should be convert moles (n) to mass (m).
Step 1
Use dimensional analysis to convert the number of atoms to moles.
1 mole atoms = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms
n(Ag) = 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms × (1 mol Ag/6.022 × 10²³ Ag atoms) = 3.8193 mol Ag
Step 2
Convert the moles of Ag to mass.
mass (m) = moles (n) × molar mass (M)
n(Ag) = 3.8193 mol Ag
M(Ag) = atomic weight on the periodic table in g/mol = 107.868 g Ag/mol Ag
m(Ag) = 3.8193 mol × 107.868 g/mol = 412 g Ag = 410 g Ag rounded to two significant figures
The mass of 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms is approximately 410 g.
