Atoms and Molecules

Long Answer Type

The mass of one steel screw is 4.11g. Find the mass of one mole of these steel screws. Compare this value with the mass of the Earth (5.98 x 1024kg). Which one of the two is heavier and by how many times?

One mole of screws weigh = 2.475 × 1024 g = 2.475 × 1021 kg

Mass of earth is 2.4 ×103 times the mass of screws

The earth is 2400 times heavier than one mole of screws.
