0.538 "g" ""^13"C"

Explanation:

We're asked to find the number of moles of ""^13"C" that has a mass of 7.00 "g".

Carbon-13 is merely an isotope of carbon, and its isotopic mass is 13.003 "amu" (from a source), which means its molar mass is 13.003 "g/mol".

Thus, we use this molar mass when performing our conversion from mass to moles:

7.00cancel("g"color(white)(l)""^13"C")((1color(white)(l)"mol"color(white)(l)""^13"C")/(13.003cancel("g"color(white)(l)""^13"C"))) = color(red)(ul(0.538color(white)(l)"mol"color(white)(l)""^13"C"
