Answer

(a) $1.79\times10^{-22}\,g$ (b) $6.49\times10^{-23}\,g$

Work Step by Step

(a) Molar mass of Ag=$107.8682\,g/mol$ That is, the mass of $6.022\times10^{23}$ Ag atoms is equal to 107.8682 g. $\implies$mass of 1 Ag atom=$\frac{107.8682\,g}{6.022\times10^{23}}=1.79\times10^{-22}\,g$ (b) Molar mass of K=$39.0983\,g/mol$ That is, the mass of $6.022\times10^{23}$ K atoms is equal to 39.0983 g. $\implies$mass of 1 K atom=$\frac{39.0983\,g}{6.022\times10^{23}}=6.49\times10^{-23}\,g$
