Question

Would you agree to buy 1.23 x 1023 silver atoms for $10? Explain why or why not, showing all work. The current price of silver is 0.87 dollars/gram.

Expert Solution
Step 1

First of all we calculate the gram of silver for given number of atoms of silver. Then we will compare the obtained value with Given value and decide that to purchase or not.

One mole of any substance = 6.023×1023 atoms/Molecules = gram atomic or Molecular mass = 22.4 liter of volume

 

Thus ,from mole concept  6.023 × 1023 atoms of any substance equal to their atomic mass in gram.
