- Atomic masses are relative masses. What does this mean?arrow_forwardNitrogen fixation in the root nodules of peas and other legumes occurs with a reaction involving a molybdenum-containing enzyme named nitrogenase. This enzyme contains two Mo atoms per molecule and is 0.0872% Mo by mass. Calculate the molar mass of the enzyme.arrow_forward3.)
