Calculate the mass of 1 amu in grams. |
|
Answer» Solution :1 amu is defined as the 1/12 th of the actual mass of one atom of `C^(12)`. SINCE, the gram atomic mass of `C^(12)` is 12.00 and this mass contains `6.022 xx 10^(23)` atoms. `therefore` Mass of one atom of `C^(12)` `=(12.00)/(6.022 xx 10^(23)) = 1.993 xx 10^(-23) G` HENCE, 1 amu `=1/2 xx 1.993 xx 10^(-23) = 1.660 xx 10^(-24) g` |
