  • Calculating the Mass of Silver Atoms: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the mass of that many silver atoms:

    1. Avogadro's Number

    * Avogadro's number tells us the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance: 6.022 x 10^23.

    2. Molar Mass

    * The molar mass of silver (Ag) is 107.87 g/mol. This means one mole of silver atoms weighs 107.87 grams.

    3. Calculation

    * Step 1: Determine the number of moles of silver atoms:

    (3.30 x 10^23 atoms) / (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol) = 0.548 moles of silver

    * Step 2: Calculate the mass of silver:

    (0.548 moles) * (107.87 g/mol) = 59.2 grams

    Therefore, 3.30 x 10^23 atoms of silver have a mass of approximately 59.2 grams.
