Question

A closed container has 2.04 ⋅ 1023 atoms of a gas. Each atom of the gas weighs 1.67 ⋅ 10−24 grams. Which of the following shows and explains the approximate total mass, in grams, of all the atoms of the gas in the container?
0.34 grams, because (2.04 ⋅ 1.67) ⋅ (1023 ⋅ 10−24) = 3.4068 ⋅ 10−1
0.37 grams, because (2.04 + 1.67) ⋅ (1023 ⋅ 10−24) = 3.71 ⋅ 10−1
3.41 grams, because (2.04 ⋅ 1.67) ⋅ (1023 ⋅ 10−24) = 3.4068
3.71 grams, because (2.04 + 1.67) ⋅ (1023 ⋅ 10−24) = 3.71

Answer 1

Answer: 0.34 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of atoms in a closed container

Weight of one atom

Total mass of all the atoms of the gas in the container

Thus A is the right option.
