Question:

What is the mass of
(a) 1 mole of nitrogen atoms?
(b) 4 moles of aluminium atoms (Atomic mass of aluminium = 27)?
(c) 10 moles of sodium sulphite (Na2SO3)?

Answer:

(a) 1 mol of nitrogen (N) atoms = gram atomic mass of N = 14g

(b) mass = molar mass × number of moles
1 mol of Aluminium (Al) = gram atomic mass of Al = 27g
mass of 4 mols of Al = 4 × 27 = 108g

(c) mass = molar mass × number of moles
molecular mass of sodium sulphite (Na2SO3) =
= 2 × Atomic mass of Na + 1 × Atomic mass of S + 3 × Atomic mass of O
= 2 × 23u + 1 × 32u + 3 × 16u = 46u + 32u + 48u
= 126u
mass of 1 mol of sodium sulphite (Na2SO3) = gram molecular mass or molar mass = 126g
mass of 10 moles of Na2SO3 = 10 × 126g = 1260g
