1 g = 6.023*10^23 amu (atomic mass unit)
This is Avogadro's number (IOW, the number of particles in a mole).
atomic mass of silver (Ag) = 107.9 amu
total mass = number of atoms x atomic mass
= 2.3*10^24*107.9 amu
= 2.3*10^24*107.9/6.023*10^23 g
= 412.04 g
= 410 g (to 2 sig. fig.)

The gram atomic weight of silver is 108. That means that for every mole (6.23 x 10^23 atoms) of silver, its weight (actually its mass), is 108 grams.
To find the number of grams of a substance when we know the number of atoms a sample contains, we can follow this general equation:
x = g. a. w. x [(# atoms) / (atoms / g. a. w.)],
where g. a. w. is the gram atomic weight of the substance and # atoms is the known number of atoms in the sample.
Plugging the known variables directly into this equation, we get this:
x = 108 g / g. a. w. x [( 2.3 x 10^24 atoms) / (6.23 x 10^23 atoms) / g. a. w.)].
We invert and cancel units where appropriate, and in this case, all but grams cancel out. This gets us:
x = 108 g x (2.3 x 10^24 / 6.23 x 10^23) = 108 g x (3.69) = 398.52 g (approximately).

To calculate the answer, you must determine the number of moles of silver that you have and then multiply that number by the atomic mass of silver.
(number of atoms/Avogadro's number) x atomic mass = the mass of the substance that you have
(2.3 x 10^24/6.02 x 10^23) x 107.87 = the mass of silver that you have
If the teacher uses molecules instead of atoms, you would follow the same procedure.

for this question, you have to use the formula "given mass(GM)= no.of moles(N)*molar mass(MM).
=> molar mass of silver(Ag) = 108 which has 6.022*10^23 as whole no. of particles
=> no. of moles = 2.3*10^24.
now, let us divide 108 with 6.022.(leave of 10^23)
=> 17.93. now, let us multiply this answer with the no. of moles, ie, 2.3*10=23(as to compensate with the no. of molecules) (leave the 10^24 here too).
=> now we get the answer as 412.49 and by rounding it off, we find out the no. of moles as...
412.
