Solution
As we know,
Equation 1−9 gives (to very high precision!) the conversion fro atomic mass units to kilogram. Since this problem deals with the ratio of total mass (1.0kg) divided by the mass of one atom (1.0u but converted to kilogram), then the computation reduces to simply taking the reciprocal of the number given in Eq 1−9 and rounding off approximately. Thus, the answer is 6.0×1026
