i didnt check your calculations or numbers u used but the method is correct

basically:

g/mol * mol = g

and

g / (g/mol) = g*mol/g = mol

All seem OK at a first glance except practice problem e). What is the atomic weight of Cl (hint, see second sheet)?

4 moles of Phosphorus atoms 31g /mole =124 g

4 moles of Phosphorus as P8, this is a bit ambigous and may be a trick question, personally I think the answer is once again 124 g.

The way the question is worded is asking for the weight of 4 moles of Phosphorus as P8 and not 4 moles of P8.

4 moles of Phosphorus is eqiivalent to 0.5 moles P8
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
