Use same method as shown in my answer to your previous question for parts A and B. I'll show you the abbreviated version.
A. 0.130 moles NaCl x 58.4 g/mole = 7.59 g NaCl
B. 4.03x1023 molecules x 1 mole/6.02x1023 molecules x 18 g/mole = 12.0 g H2O
C. In order to determine the number of atoms in 142 g of metal, one needs to know the identity of the metal. Why? Because 142 g of Na does not have the same number of molecules as 142 g of potassium, etc. etc. You must convert the 142 g to moles and then using Avogadro's number, convert moles to molecules.
1. Values of metal sample = $0.000656/g x 142 g = $0.093 or about 9 cents.
2. The number of moles is related to the mass by the molar mass or atomic mass of the species and the number of molecules is related to moles by Avogadro's number, i.e. there are 6.02x1023 molecules in 1 mole of a compound.
