If we consider that 1/6, in place of 1/12, mass of carbon atom
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
- decrease twice
- remain unchanged
- increase two fold
- be a function of the molecular mass of the substance
Answer
1 atomic mass unit on the scale of 1/6 of C12 = 2 amu on the scale of 1/12 of C12.
Now, atomic mass of an element
= Mass of one atom of the element/ 1 amu (Here on the scale of 1/6 of C-12)
= Mass of one atom of the element/ 2 amu (Here on the scale of 1/12 of C-12)
Numerically the mass of a substance will become half of the normal scale.
The correct option is A.
