Question

Which of the following has the greatest mass, in grams?1 atom of gold (Au)   1.0 mol mercury (Hg) atoms   2.0 mole of chlorine (Cl) atoms   25 atoms of mercury (Hg)

stephstar101 · Answer

1 atom Au - 196.96655g
1 mol Hg - 200.59g*(6.02*10^23 particles)= 1.208*10^26g
2 mol Cl - 35.453g*2*(6.02*10^23 particles)= 4.269*10^25g
25 atoms Hg - 25*200.59g= 5014.75g

So the largest mass in g would be 1 mol Hg with a mass of 1.208*10^26g
