Question

Among $10^{-9}$ g (each) of the following elements, which one will have the highest number of atoms? Element: Pb, Po, Pr and Pt

The correct answer is

Pr

Atom Count and Molar Mass Relation

The number of atoms in a given mass of a substance depends on its molar mass. For a fixed mass, the element with the lowest molar mass will contain the highest number of atoms.

The number of atoms can be calculated using the formula:

$ \text{Number of atoms} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}} \times N_A $

Where \( N_A \) is Avogadro's number. Since the mass (\( 10^{-9} \) g) and \( N_A \) are constant for all elements in this question, we only need to compare their molar masses to determine which has the most atoms.

Element Molar Mass Data

Element Symbol Molar Mass (g/mol)
Lead Pb 207.2
Polonium Po 209
Praseodymium Pr 140.9
Platinum Pt 195.1

Highest Atom Count Determination

By comparing the molar masses from the table:

  • Pb: 207.2 g/mol
  • Po: 209 g/mol
  • Pr: 140.9 g/mol
  • Pt: 195.1 g/mol

Praseodymium (Pr) has the lowest molar mass (140.9 g/mol). Consequently, \( 10^{-9} \) g of Pr contains the highest number of atoms compared to the same mass of Pb, Po, or Pt.
