Answer

7 g of silver

Reason —

(a) Weight of 1 g atom of N = 14 g

∴ weight of 2 g atom of N = 28 g

(b) 6.022 × 1023 atoms of C weigh = 12 g

∴ 3 × 1025 atoms will weigh = 126.022×1023\dfrac{12}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} × 3 × 1025 = 597.7 g

(c) 1 mole of sulphur weighs = 32 g

(d) 7 g of silver

The weight computed in all other options is greater than the weight in option (d). Hence, 7 grams of silver weighs the least.
