To calculate how many times greater the mass of a benzene molecule is than the mass of an electron, we divide the mass of the benzene molecule by the mass of an electron:
(1.3 x 10^-22 g) / (9.11 x 10^-28 g) = 1.4274 x 10^6
Therefore, the mass of a benzene molecule is approximately 1.4 x 10^6 times greater than the mass of an electron.
The mass of a benzene molecule is 1.3 x 10, to the power of -22 grams. The mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10, to the power of -28 grams. How many times greater is the mass of a benzene molecule than the mass of an electron? Write your answer in standard notation, rounding to the nearest tenth.
