Question

If the atomic weight of carbon is set at 24 amu, the value of the avogadro constant would be :-
A. `6.022xx10^(23)`
B. `12.044xx10^(23)`
C. `3.011xx10^(23)`
D. none of these

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
1 a.m.u =` (1)/(12)xx "wt of" C - 12` isotope
1 a.m.u `= (1)/(24)xx wt of C-12` isotope
1 amu `= 2xx1 amu^(1)`
New `"amu"^(1)= ("amu")/(2)`
