Question

Compute the difference in masses of one mole each of aluminium atoms and one mole of its ions. (Mass of an electron is 9.1×10–28 g). Which one is heavier?

Answer in Brief

Solution

Mass of 1 mole of aluminium atom = 27g mol−1

Al − 3e → Al3+ (3 moles of electrons)

Mass of 3 moles of electrons

= 3 × (9.1 × 10−28) × 6.022 × 1023 g

= 0.00164g

Molar mass of Al3+ = 27 − 0.00164g mol−1

= 26.9984g mol−1 

Difference = 27 – 26.9984

= 0.0016 g

1 mole of Al atoms is heavier than 1 mole of Al3+ions.
