The mass of one molecule of a substance is 4.65 × 10–23 g. What is its molecular mass? What could this substance be?
Mass of one molecule of a substance = 4.65 × 10-23
We know that the mass of a molecule of a substance is equal to the mass of 1 mole of that substance.
1 mole of a substance consists of 6.022 × 1023 molecules; therefore, the mass of a molecule of a substance is equal to the mass of 6.022 × 1023 molecules.
Therefore, to calculate the molecular mass of the substance, we need to calculate the mass of 6.022 × 1023 molecules of that substance.
Mass of 1 molecule of the substance = 4.65 × 10-23
Mass of 6.022 × 1023 molecules of the substance
= 6.022 × 1023 × 4.65 × 10-23
= 28g
Hence, the molecular mass of the substance is 28 u.
As Nitrogen has a molecular mass of 28 u; therefore, the substance can be Nitrogen.
