Silver is a very precious metal and is used in Jewellery. One million atoms of silver weigh `1.79 xx 10^(-16)`g. Calculate the atomic mass of silver.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Atomic mass of an element is the mass of `6.022xx10^(23)` atoms.
Now, `10^(6)` atoms of silver weigh = `1.79xx10^(-16)g`
`6.022xx10^(23)` atoms of silver weigh
`=(1.79xx10^(-16)xx6.022xx10^(23))/(10^(6))=107.8g`
Atomic mass of silver = `107.8u`.
