You are in chemistry class and are looking at two samples of carbon and sodium on the lab table. A teacher asks which sample would weigh more and the class
can't decide. Below are 3 student opinions, which student is correct and why?
• Student #1: A mole of Carbon (C) would weigh more than a mole of Sodium
(Na)
• Student #2: A mole of Sodium (Na) would weigh more than a mole of Carbon
(C)
• Student #3: Each sample would have the same weight on the scale because
they're both a mole.
