This tells us that 4.004.00 grams of "Helium"Helium equates to 1" mole"1 mole. We write it as follows:

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)(4.00"g He")/(1" mole")aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa4.00g He1 mole

If we are given 16" grams"16 grams of "He"He, then we can use what we wrote above to figure out number of "moles"moles of "He"He.

(16cancel"g He")/(1) * (1" mole")/(4.00cancel"g He") = 4" moles of He"

"Answer": 4" moles of He"
