Answer:
- The molar mass of an element is the mass of one mole of atoms of the element.
Step-by-step explanation:
The molar mass of an element is its atomic mass, i.e. the mass in grams of one mole of atoms of the element.
Remember 1 mol is approximately 6.022 × 10²³.
So, 1 mol of atoms is 6.022 × 10²³ atoms.
The molar mass is an average: it is the weighted average mass of the natural isotopes of the element, taking into account their relative abundance.
For example, the molar mass or atomic mass of carbon is 12,0107 g/mol, instead of 12.0000, becasue carbon exists in several forms (isotopes), and so the weighted average is not a whole number.
