    If we consider that 1/6, in place of 1/12, mass of carbon atom is taken to be the relative atomic mass unit, the mass of one mole of a substance will

    A) decrease to half

    B) increase two fold

    C) remain unchanged

    D) be a function of the molecular mass of the substance.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a]: 1 atomic mass unit on the scale of 1/6 of C-12 = 2 amu on the scale of 1/12 ofC-12. Now, atomic mass of an element \[\text{=}\frac{\text{Mass of one atom of the element}}{\text{1 amu(Here on the scale of }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{6}}\text{of}\,\text{C-12)}}\] \[\text{=}\frac{\text{Mass of one atom of the element}}{\text{2 amu(Here on the scale of }\frac{1}{12}\text{of}\,\text{C-12)}}\] \[\therefore \]Numerically the mass of a substance will become half of the normal scale.
