Q:What is gram atomic matter? |
The gram-atomic weight of an element was defined as the atomic weight of the element, expressed in grams. Because the atomic weight scale is numerically preserved in the definition of gram atomic weights, the mass of 1 gram-atomic weight of any element could be immediately determined as the atomic weight in grams. Mole is the atomic, molecular, or formula weight of the substance, expressed in grams. One mole of water weighs 18.015 g. Example:C6H12O6 is glucose.1 mole of glucose contains 6 moles of C atoms, 12 moles of H atoms, and 6 moles of O atoms. |
