    Set up these two ratios for each question.

    1 mole = 6.02 * 10^23 atoms

    x mole = 5.94 * 10^23 atoms

    x * 6.02 *10^23 = 1 * 5.94 * 10^23

    x = 5.94 * 10^23/6.02*10^23

    x = 0.9867 moles

    1 mole of Cl = 35.5 grams

    0.9867 mole = x grams

    x = 0.9867 * 35.5

    x = 35.03

    The other two problems are done exactly the same way. For this question are you sure you were not give molecules of Cl2?

    If you were then 0.9867 * 71 = 70.06 grams is the right answer.
