How manu grams does 1 atom of silver weigh?

Answer 1

1 atom of silver (Ag)= 107.87 amu

1 mole of a substance is 6.022 x 1023 of that substance.

1 MOLE of silver (Ag)= 107.87 grams

So, in the three step formula:

1 atom Ag x 1 mole Ag/6.022 x 1023 atoms Ag ≈ 1.660577881 x 10-24 Mole Ag

1.660577881 x10-24 Mole Ag x 107.87 g Ag/ 1 mole Ag ≈ 1.79126536 x 10-22 g. Ag

Or, to conserve significant figures, 1.7913 x 10-22 g. Ag (because 1 mole is definite, we don't count its significant figures

Answer 2

The weight of an individual silver atom is very small and is typically measured in Atomic Mass units (amu) rather than grams. One atom of silver is approximately 107.87 atomic mass units. To convert this to grams, you would need to use Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23) and the atomic mass unit to gram conversion factor (1 amu = 1.66054 x 10^-24 g).
