Question

1.) The mass of 1.21 × 1020 atoms of phosphorous is

3.88 × 1021 g.

2.00 mg.

30.97 g.

6.22 mg.

2.01 × 10-4 g.

2.) Samples of the following volatile liquids are opened simultaneously at one end of a room. If you are standing at the opposite end of this room, which species would you smell first?
[Assume that your nose is equally sensitive to all these species.]

ethyl acetate (CH3COOC2H5)

camphor (C10H16O)

diethyl ether (C2H5OC2H5)

naphthalene (C10H8)

pentanethiol (C5H11SH)

3.88 × 1021 g.

2.00 mg.

30.97 g.

6.22 mg.

2.01 × 10-4 g.

Explanation / Answer

1) Atmic mass of Phosphorous is = 30.97 gm/ mole = mass of 6.023 x 1023 number of atoms

Thus, mass of 1.21 x 1020 number of atoms of phosphorous = [30.97/ 6.023 x 1023] x (1.21 x 1020)

= 0.00622 gm = 6.22 mg
