Chapter 2, Problem 93E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The importance of defining one mole as the number of particles as exactly $\text{12}\text{g}$ of $\text{C-12}$ and $\text{amu}$ as the $1/12$ mass of an atom of $\text{C-12}$ . The result of defining one mole as the number of particles as exactly $\text{12}\text{g}$ of $\text{C-12}$ and $\text{amu}$ with respect to $\text{Ne-20}$ is to be explained.

Concept introduction: The number of particles in one mole of substance is $6.022\times {10}^{{}^{23}}$ and is equal to the number of atoms in $12\text{g}$ of $\text{C-12}$ isotope.

To determine: The importance of defining one mole as the number of particles as exactly $\text{12}\text{g}$ of $\text{C-12}$ and $\text{amu}$ as the $1/12$ mass of an atom of $\text{C-12}$ . The result of defining one mole as the number of particles as exactly $\text{12}\text{g}$ of $\text{C-12}$ and $\text{amu}$ with respect to $\text{Ne-20}$ .
