Molar Masses — Unit test

Question 1 • LA-Chemistry A

Consider the substances below.• 1 mol of beryllium• 1 mol of salt• 1 mol of water• 1 mol of hydrogenWhich statement is true about these substances?

Answer
A
They have exactly the same mass.
B
They have different numbers of particles.
C
They have the same number of atoms.
D
They have different masses.

Explanation

One mole of each substance contains the same number of particles, but each particle has a different mass. For example, 1 mol of beryllium has a mass of about 9 g, while 1 mol of water has a mass of about 18 g. Therefore, they have different masses. They do not all have the same number of atoms either, because water and hydrogen particles contain multiple atoms.
