The correct answer is 2.20 × 10⁻²⁸ kg
Mass defect for oxygen-16 = 0.13261 amu
1 amu = 1.66 × 10⁻²⁷ kg
Converting amu to kg we get,
0.13261 amu ( 1.66 × 10⁻²⁷ kg / 1 amu ) = 2.20 × 10⁻²⁸ kg
Thus the mass defect for oxygen-16 in kilograms is 2.20 × 10⁻²⁸
Answer:
The correct option is B which is 2.20 × 10-28 Kg .
Explanation:
Given mass defect of oxygen is equal to 0.13261 amu .
Now the question is the mass defect of oxygen in kilograms.
amu is one of the unit of mass which is equal to the 1/12 of mass of an atom of carbon-12.
While 1 amu = 1.66 * 10-27 Kg
So
0.13261 amu = 1.66 * 10-27 Kg × 0.13261
= 22.01 × 10-29 or 2.201 × 10-28 Kg
So if we covert the amu to kilograms which means from small unit of mass to large unit of mass. The 0.13261 amu is equal to 2.20* 10-28 Kg
