$S c$

Step 1

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

$44.96$

Step 2

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

$\frac{44.96}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23}}$

Step 3

Divide using scientific notation.

Step 3.1

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

$(\frac{44.96}{6.022}) (\frac{1}{10^{23}})$

Step 3.2

Divide $44.96$ by $6.022$ .

$7.46595815 \frac{1}{10^{23}}$

Step 3.3

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

$7.46595815 \cdot 10^{- 23}$
