Magnesium metal consists Magnesium atoms. What is mass of Magnesium contains 6×10^22

1 answer

To calculate the mass of magnesium containing 6×10^22 atoms, we first need to find the molar mass of magnesium. The molar mass of magnesium is approximately 24.31 g/mol.

Next, we convert the number of atoms given to moles by dividing by Avogadro's number (6.022×10^23 atoms/mol).

6×10^22 atoms ÷ 6.022×10^23 atoms/mol = 0.0997 moles

Finally, we can calculate the mass of 0.0997 moles of magnesium by multiplying it by the molar mass of magnesium:

0.0997 moles × 24.31 g/mol = 2.42 grams

Therefore, the mass of magnesium containing 6×10^22 atoms is approximately 2.42 grams.
