Solution:

One mole of any substance contains 6.022×1023 atoms/molecules.

Hence,

(5.00×1020 atoms of Cr) × (1 mol / 6.022×1023 atoms) = 0.00083 mol = 8.30×10-4 mol Cr

Moles of Cr = 8.30×10-4 mol


The molar mass of chromium (Cr) is 51.9961 g/mol.

Hence,

(8.30×10-4 mol Cr) × (51.9961 g Cr / 1 mol Cr) = 0.043 g Cr

Mass of Cr = 0.043 g


Answers:

1) 8.30×10-4 mol Cr;

2) 0.043 g Cr.
