Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The mass of cobalt should be predicted which contains the same number of iron atoms.
Concept Introduction:
Molar mass is defined as an average mass of atoms present in the chemical formula. It is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms present in the chemical formula of any compound.
Answer to Problem 58A
The mass of the cobalt atom is 2.36 g
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Mass of iron atom = 2.24 g
One mole of iron = 6.023 ×1023 atoms
Calculation:
The calculation of number of iron atoms is shown below:
No. of atoms of cobalt = 2.4156 × 1022 Co atoms
The calculation of mass of cobalt is shown below:
Thus, the mass of the cobalt atom is 2.36 g.
