Question

If 3.89 × 1024 atoms of a noble gas is collected and it has a mass of of 848 grams, this element is most likely a. He b. Ne c. Ar d. Kr

Answer 1

Answer:

Xenon

Explanation:

Avogadro’s number represent the number of the constituent particles which are present in one mole of the substance. It is named after scientist Amedeo Avogadro and is denoted by $N_0$.

Avogadro constant:-

$N_a=6.023\times 10^{23}$

Let the molar mass of the element is x g/mol

So,

$6.023\times 10^{23}$ atoms have a mass of x g

Also,

$3.89\times 10^{24}$ atoms have a mass of $\frac{x}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\times 3.89\times 10^{24}$ g

This mass is equal to 848 g

So,

$\frac{x}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\times 3.89\times 10^{24}=848$

x= 131.3 g/mol

This mass correspond to xenon.
