Calculate the Mass of an Atom of Silver Atomic Mass = 108

Answer: Silver is located in a transition metal group with the symbol Ag and atomic number 47. Like all other metals present in the transition group, it is also a good conductor of heat and electricity. 

The mass of one mole of the element is the mass of Avogadro’s number of atoms of the element. Thus,

1 mole=6.022×1023 molecules 

Mass of 6.022×1023 atoms of silver (Ag)=108g (Given, atomic mass is 108g)

Mass of one atom of Silver =108 / 6.022×1023g 

                                              =1.79×10-22g .
