If we consider that in place of mass of carbon atom is taken to be the relative atomic mass unit, the mass of one mole of a substance will:
- ADecrease twice
- BIncrease two fold
- CRemain unchanged
- DBe a function of the molecular mass of the substance
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. The definition of atomic mass unit () and Avogadro's number () are linked.2. If the definition of changes, the value of changes such that the mass of mole of a substance (in grams) remains numerically equal to its atomic/molecular mass.3. The actual mass of one mole of a substance is a physical quantity. If we change the unit "mole" (by changing the reference), the mass contained in "one mole" stays the same because the physical scale of atomic masses hasn't changed.
