URGENT PLEASE !! What is the mass, in grams, of a sample of 6.98 × 10^24 atoms of magnesium (Mg)? Show your work or explain the steps that you used to determine your answer.

you know the mass it says for Mg on the periodic table?
No.. I dont really know anything about this. Im not good at chemistry. I just started the course.
find out how many atoms are in 1 mole of Mg, than convert that into grams
Ex - Hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1.008, and therefore 1.008 moles of Hydrogen has 6.022 *10^22 atoms
** If I remember correctly
Atomic mass if slightly different dependent on your periodic table (google says something slightly different than your table usually does - usually with more sig figs)
Lets say you have 3.45*10^24 atoms of hydrogen - how many grams is that?
does 6.98 x 10^24 = 28.2 g
\[3.45*10^{24} atoms \times \frac{ 1 mole H }{ 6.022*10^{24} atoms } \times \frac{ 1.008g }{ 1mole H }\]
was does it say the weight it for Mg?
*it should be 6.022*10^23
I need to leave - I need to continue studying botany. If my math was wrong - I'm sure someone will say something.
*math was for my example only
