what mass of sulphur has the same number of atoms as 6g of magnesium ?

For any element one mole will have $\frac{ 1,mol }{ 6.02x10^{23} atoms}$ $\frac{ 1, mol, sulphur }{ 32grams } = (6.02x10^{23} atoms, of, sulphur )$ Let's do the same thing for magnesium. $\frac{ 1,mol,magnesium }{ 24.0 grams, magnesium } = 6.02x10^{23} atoms of magnesium$ I think you would do it like this in a ratio: $\frac{ 6.02x10^{23} atoms, mg}{ 24.0 g,mg } = \frac{ x,atoms }{ 6.0g. mg }$ 6.0g Mg*6.02x10^23 atoms = 24.0g Mg * (x)

$\frac{ 6 }{ 24 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }*(6.02x10^{23})atoms = 1.505x10^{23} atoms of mg$

I think we would set up another proportion. we need to figure out what mass of sulphur is equivalent to the number of atoms. $\frac{ 32grams }{ 6.02x10^{23} sulphur } = \frac{ x,grams }{ 1.505x10^{23} atoms }$

$\frac{ 4.816x10^{24} }{ 6.02x10^{23} } = 8.0, grams, of, sulphur$
