Question

Give the values for the following,

Gram atom of Chlorine= ____g of Chlorine.

Answer 1

• The gram atomic mass or molar mass is defined as the atomic mass of a mole of an element expressed in grams.
• One mole of a substance is the measure of the amount of that substance. It is equal to the number of atoms present in 12 grams of the Carbon-12 isotope.
• Molar mass of an element = 1mole of that element = 6.022×10²³ atoms.
• 1g atom is the gram atomic weight of an element, which is numerically equal to its atomic weight.

Therefore Gram atom of Chlorine(Cl) = atomic weight of chlorine(Cl) = 35.5g

Gram atom of Chlorine=35.5 g of chlorine.
