The difference in the mass of 100 moles each of sodium atoms and sodium ions is 5.48002 g. Compute the mass of an electron.

Answers (1)

Answer:

Number of electrons in Na atom = 11
Number of electrons in Na^{+} = 10
For 1 mole of Na atom and Na+ the difference in electrons = 1 mole
For 100 moles of Na atoms and Na+ ions the difference = 100 moles of electrons
Mass of 100 moles of electrons = 
5.48002 g
Mass of 1 mole of electrons =\frac{5.48002}{100}g
Mass of one electron =\frac{5.48002}{100\times6.022\times10^{23}}g
                                       =9.1\times10^{-28}g
                                       =9.1\times 10^{-31}kg
