The mass of half mole of electrons is about (mass of electron= 9.1 * 10^-28g)

OpenStudy (aaronq):

1 mole is \(6.022*10^{23}\) anything (in this case electrons), it's called Avogadro's number. so multiply the mass of one by half of avogadro's number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1mole of electrons has a mass of 9.1*10^-28 so 1/2 moles would be 1/2*9.1*10^-28 ??

OpenStudy (jfraser):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then where we have to use the avogadro's number

OpenStudy (jfraser):

each electron weighs 9.1*10^-28g. One mole of electrons would weigh\[9.1*10^{-28g} * 6.02*10^{23}\] but you only have half a mole of electrons. Divide that by 2 and you'll have the mass of half a mole of electrons
