Each atom in a sample of lithium (z=3, atomic mass 6. 941u) has one electron removed. If a charge of magnitude 1. 0 mc was collected in this way, what is the mass of the lithium sample?

Respuesta :

The mass of the lithium sample is [tex]2.39 X 10^{-8}[/tex] g when each atom in a sample of lithium (z=3, atomic mass 6. 941u) has one electron removed.

What is an atom?

An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons.

Number of lithium atoms in sample:

N =[tex]\frac{10^{-3}}{4.8 X 10^{-19}C}[/tex]

N= [tex]2.08 X 10 ^{15}[/tex]

Mass of [tex]6.022 X 10^{23}[/tex] lithium atom in 6.941g.

Mass of lithium sample = [tex]\frac{6.941 \;X \;2.08 \;X \;10^{15}}{6.022 X 10^{23}}[/tex]

Mass of lithium sample = [tex]2.39 X 10^{-8}[/tex]g

Hence, the mass of the lithium sample is [tex]2.39 X 10^{-8}[/tex] g.
