The correct answer is: 24

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria that is essential for photosynthesis. Its central structure is an aromatic porphyrin ring system with a sequestered magnesium atom.

ppm=WMgVsol×106=48

WMg=48×2×1000106

=48×2×10-3 g

nMg=WMg24=48×2×10-324

=4×10-3

Number of Mg atoms =4×10-3×6.02×1023=4×6.02×1020

=4×6.02×1020

=24.08×1020

 x=24.08
