If we consider that 1/6, in place of 1/12, mass of carbon atom is taken to be the relative atomic mass unit, the mass of one mole of a substance will
A.be a function of the molecular mass of the
B.remain unchanged
C.increase two-fold✓ Correct
D.decrease twice
Explanation
In case of 1 12 , 1 1 23 1 1 a.m.u ( )= Mass of 1 C-12 atom 12 1 12 (1) 12 6.022 10 x >> x x In case of 1 , 6 2 2 23 1 1 a.m.u ( )= Mass of 1 C-12 atom 6 1 12 (2) 6 6.022 10 x >> x x From (1) and (2), we have 23 1 2 23 1 2 2 1 1 6.022 10 2 6.022 10 1 2 2 x x >> >> Thus, the new mass increases by two fold.
