Pure 235U has a molar mass of 235.0439299 g. What is the mass of a single 235U atom in grams?
We know that molar mass means the mass of 1 mole of compound.
1 mole of any compound contains avagadro number(6.023x1023) of atoms
Given that the molar mass of 235U is 235.0439299 g
That means the mass of 6.023x1023 atoms is 235.0439299 g
So mass of single atom is 235.0439299 / (6.023x1023 )
= 3.902x10-22 g
Therefore the mass of single 235U atom is 3.902x10-22 g
