Question

A closed container has 3.06 ⋅ 1023 atoms of a gas. Each atom of the gas weighs 1.67 ⋅ 10–24 grams. Which of the following shows and explains the approximate total mass, in grams, of all the atoms of the gas in the container?

A. 0.47 grams, because (3.06 + 1.67) ⋅ (1023 ⋅ 10–24) = 4.73 ⋅ 10–1
B.0.51 grams, because (3.06 ⋅ 1.67) ⋅(1023 ⋅ 10–24) = 5.1102 ⋅ 10–1
C.4.73 grams, because (3.06 + 1.67) ⋅ (1023 ⋅ 10–24) = 4.73
D.5.11 grams, because (3.06 ⋅ 1.67) ⋅ (1023 ⋅ 10–24) = 5.1102

Answer 1

long story short, the answer is B, 0.51 grams, because (3.06 ⋅ 1.67) ⋅(1023 ⋅ 10-24) = 5.1102 ⋅ 10-1

Answer 2

Explanation:

The correct answer is not the first answer, but the second answer in the middle. The third answer is the correct one because, since it has the correct exponent, that is, 0.51 grams.

_________________________________________________________

The approximate total mass is the number of atoms multiplied by the weight of an atom.

The approximate overall mass=3.06 10²³ atoms. (1.67 10⁻²⁴ grams/1 atom) which is equivalent to a mass of 0.51 grams. (1.67 10⁻²⁴ grams/1 atom) = 0.51102 g ≈ 0.51 g

Answer: B. 0.51 grams, because (3.06 ⋅ 1.67) ⋅(1023 ⋅ 10–24) = 5.1102 ⋅ 10–1
