1. Find the molar mass of magnesium:
* The molar mass of magnesium (Mg) is 24.305 g/mol. This means that one mole of magnesium weighs 24.305 grams.
2. Use the formula:
* Moles = Mass / Molar Mass
3. Plug in the values:
* Moles = 100 g / 24.305 g/mol
* Moles ≈ 4.11 moles
Therefore, there are approximately 4.11 moles of magnesium atoms in 100 grams of magnesium.
