Atoms And Molecules

Question
CBSEENSC9005071

The mass of a single atom of M is 3.05 x 10–22 g. What is its atomic weight ? What would this element be ? Check table for possible answers.

Solution
1 space mole space equals space atomic space mass space space equals space 6.023 space cross times 10 to the power of 23 space atoms. space
Now space mass space of space one space atom space of space straight M space equals space 3.05 space cross times 10 to the power of negative 22 end exponent straight g
Now space mass space of space 6.02 space cross times space 10 to the power of 23 space atoms space of space straight M space
space space equals space 3.05 space cross times space 10 to the power of negative 22 end exponent space cross times space 6.023 space cross times space 10 to the power of 23 straight g space equals 183.7 space straight g

therefore space space space space space Mass space of space 1 space mole space or space atomic space mass space of space straight M space equals 183.7 space straight g
This space could space be space tungsten space left parenthesis straight W right parenthesis.
