Answer:
2.3 x 10-23 g.
Explanation:
The mass of a single atom is the mass number, 14, is the mass in grams of one mole of carbon.
One mole of Nitrogen atom is 6.022 x 1023 atoms (Avogadro's number). This can then used to convert a nitogen atom to grams by the ratio:
mass of 1 atom / 1 atom = mass of a mole of atoms / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms.
mass of 1 atom = mass of a mole of atoms / 6.022 x 1023
mass of 1 N atom = 14 / 6.022 x 10^23 N atoms
mass of 1 N atom = 2.325 x 10^-23 g
The mass of a single Nitrogen atom is 2.325 x 10-23 g.
Billions of years ago, according to the theory of evolution, chemicals randomly organized themselves into a self-replicating molecule. This spark of life was the seed of every living thing we see today (as well as those we no longer see, like dinosaurs). That simplest life form, through the processes of mutation and natural selection, has been shaped into every living species on the planet.
