Question

If we assume $1/24th$ part of mass of carbon instead of $1/12th$ part of it as $1amu$, mass of 1 mole of a substance will:

• A. remain unchanged
• B. get doubled
• C. get halved
• D. can't be predicated

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

remain unchanged

Mass of one mole is the molecular mass of the substance which remains constant.

If we assume 1 amu as 1/24th part of the mass of carbon, only the definition of amu is getting changed from 1/12 th to 1/24 the part of carbon.

So, the correct option is ( A )
