Avogadro's number of AlAl atoms has a mass of 26.9826.98 gg. So you tell us.

Explanation:

If there are 6.0226.022 xx× 10^231023 individual aluminum atoms, there is a mass of 26.9826.98 gg of aluminum. 6.0226.022 xx× 10^231023 individual aluminum atoms represents 11 molmol of aluminum.

So, (2.72*cancelg)/(26.98*cancelg*mol^-1) = ?? mol?

Whatever this molar quantity is, we multiply this by Avogadro's number, 6.022 xx 10^23 mol^-1, to get the number of aluminum atoms.
