Answer 1

2059.645g Cl

Step-by-step explanation:

A mole of any element contains 6.022e23 molecules, so we will divide the given amount of molecules by 6.022e23.

3.5e25 / 6.022e23 = 5.81e1

5.81e1 = 58.1 mol Cl

Now that we have found the amount of moles of Chlorine, we will multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of Chlorine, which is 35.45g/mol.

35.45(58.1) = 2059.645g Cl
