4.000 mol Cl has a mass of 141.8 g.
4.000 mol Al has a mass of 107.9 g.

Explanation:

The molar mass of an element is its atomic weight (relative atomic mass) on the periodic table in g/mol.

Molar masses
$Cl :$ $"Cl":$ $35.45 g/mol$ $"35.45 g/mol"$
$Al :$ $"Al":$ $26.98 g/mol$ $"26.98 g/mol"$

The molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance. Multiply the molar mass times 4.000 mol to get the mass of 4.000 mol of each element.

$4.000 mol Cl \times \frac{35.45 g Cl}{1 mol Cl} = 141.8 g Cl$ $4.000"mol Cl"xx(35.45"g Cl")/(1"mol Cl")="141.8 g Cl"$

$4.000 mol Al \times \frac{26.98 g Al}{1 mol Al} = 107.9 g Al$ $4.000"mol Al"xx(26.98"g Al")/(1"mol Al")="107.9 g Al"$
