If we consider that `1/6` in place of `1/12`, mass of carbon atom is taken to be the relative atomic mass unit, the mas of one mole of a substance will

A

decrease twice

B

increase two folds

C

remain unchanged

D

be a function of the molecular mass of the substance

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

1 atomic mass unit on the scale of 1/6 of amu on the scale of 1/12 of C–12.
Now, atomic mass of an element `= ("Mass of one atom of the element")/("1 amu (Here on the scale of "(1)/(6) " of C-12)")`
`= ("Mass of one atom of the element")/("2 amu (Here on the scale of "(1)/(12) " of C-12)")`
`:.` Numerically the mass of a substance will become half of the normal scale
