You have the formula Mg(NO_3)_2Mg(NO3)2....

Explanation:

And so there are 1xxMg+2xxN+6xxO*"atoms"1×Mg+2×N+6×Oatoms.......

And we could calculate the molar mass of the nitrate....

...which is 148.30*g*mol^-1148.30gmol1. And thus in "Avogadro's number of magnesium nitrate formula units,"Avogadro's number of magnesium nitrate formula units, "i.e. a mass of 148.3 g"i.e. a mass of 148.3 g, N_A-=6.022xx10^23*mol^-1NA6.022×1023mol1, there are 1xxN_A(Mg) + 2xxN_A(N) + 6xxN_A(O)-=9N_A1×NA(Mg)+2×NA(N)+6×NA(O)9NA atoms in toto....
