If the Avogadro number NAN_A, is changed from 6.022×1023 mol16.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ mol}^{-1} to 6.022×1020 mol16.022 \times 10^{20} \text{ mol}^{-1} this would change:

A

The definition of mass in units of grams.

B

The mass of one mole of carbon.

C

The ratio of chemical species to each other in a balanced equation.

D

The ratio of elements to each other in a compound.

Step-by-Step Solution

The mass of one mole of a substance is the mass of Avogadro's number (NAN_A) of its constituent particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) . Mass of 1 mole of carbon=Mass of 1 carbon atom×NA\text{Mass of 1 mole of carbon} = \text{Mass of 1 carbon atom} \times N_A. If the value of Avogadro's number (NAN_A) is changed from 6.022×1023 mol16.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ mol}^{-1} to 6.022×1020 mol16.022 \times 10^{20} \text{ mol}^{-1}, the number of carbon atoms present in one mole will decrease. Consequently, the mass of one mole of carbon will also change (it will decrease by a factor of 10310^3).

The definition of mass in units of grams, the ratio of chemical species to each other in a balanced equation, and the ratio of elements to each other in a compound are fundamental concepts and do not depend on the specific value of Avogadro's number.
