    Answer: m = 5.81x10-²³ g Cl

    Explanation: First is to find the number of moles of Cl in 1 atom of Chlorine. To solve this we will use the Avogadro's Number to convert atoms to moles.

    1 atom Cl x 1 mole Cl / 6.022x10²³ atoms Cl

    = 1.66x10-²⁴ moles Cl

    The next step is to convert the moles of Cl to mass using its molar mass.

    1.66x10-²⁴ moles Cl x 35 g Cl / 1 mole Cl

    = 5.81x10-²³ g Cl.

    Cancel out the units of moles Cl.
