Chapter 8, Problem 5CE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of Avogadro’s number of water molecules is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The atomic mass of an atom is the amount of matter present in the atom of an element. It is the multiple of $1/{12}^{\text{th}}$ mass of the $\text{carbon-}12$ atom. It is expressed in $\text{amu}$ where $1\text{amu}=1.66\times {10}^{-23}\text{g}$. Avogadro’s number is represented by symbol $\text{N}$. It is the number of units: atoms, electrons, molecules, or ions present in one mole of a substance. The value of $\text{N}$ is $6.022\times {10}^{23}$.
