$H g$

Step 1

To calculate the mass of a single atom, first look up the atomic mass of $H g$ from the periodic table. This is also the mass in grams of 1 mole of $H g$ .

$200.59$

Step 2

Use Avogadro's number to find the mass of a single atom.

$\frac{200.59}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23}}$

Step 3.1.1

Group coefficients together and exponents together to divide numbers in scientific notation.

$(\frac{200.59}{6.022}) (\frac{1}{10^{23}})$

Step 3.1.2

Divide $200.59$ by $6.022$ .

$33.30953171 \frac{1}{10^{23}}$

Step 3.1.3

Move $10^{23}$ to the numerator using the negative exponent rule $\frac{1}{b^{n}} = b^{- n}$ .

$33.30953171 \cdot 10^{- 23}$

Step 3.2

Move the decimal point in $33.30953171$ to the left by $1$ place and increase the power of $10^{- 23}$ by $1$ .

$3.33095317 \cdot 10^{- 22}$
