Question

Compute the difference in masses of 103 moles each of magnesium atoms and magnesium ions.

(Mass of an electron = 9.1×10–31 kg)

Answer in Brief

Solution

Mg+2ion = 10 electron

Mg atom = 12 electrons

Difference between Mg2+ and Mg = 2 moles of electrons

The difference between 103 moles of Mg and 103 moles of Mg2+ = 103 × 2 moles of electrons 

Mass of 103 × 2 moles of electrons

= 2 × 103 × 6.022 × 1023 × 9.1 × 10−31 kg

= 1.096 × 10−3 kg
