Roughly what mass does one mole of water molecules have?
AAbout 0.03 g
BAbout 18 g
CAbout 12 g
DAbout 32 g
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. About 18 g
1. One water molecule weighs approximately 18 amu.
2. Formula mass in amu and molar mass in g/mol are numerically equal.
3. One mole of water molecules therefore weighs approximately 18 g.
4. The figure 0.03 g is the mass of a single small drop of water, a tiny fraction of a mole.
