Question

How would you calculate the atomic mass of an atom of silver (Ag)?

Answer 1

Answer:

107.8682 u

Explanation:

Well Silver has an atomic mass of aproximately 107.9. 1 mole of silver atoms = 107.9g and there are 6.02x10^23 atoms in one mole. Therefore to find mass of one atom you should divide the mass by Avodgadro's constant to find the mass of one atom because they all have an even distribution of mass.

The average atomic mass of the element takes the variations of the number of neutrons into account, and tells you the average mass per atom in a typical sample of that element. For example, the element silver (Ag) has two naturally occurring isotopes: Ag-107 and Ag-109 (or 107Ag and 109Ag).
