Answer

(a) $4.664\times10^{-23}\,g$ (b) $9.273\times10^{-23}\,g$

Work Step by Step

(a) Molar mass of Si=$28.0855\,g/mol$ That is, the mass of $6.022\times10^{23}$ Si atoms is equal to 28.0855 g. $\implies$ mass of 1 Si atom=$\frac{28.0855\,g}{6.022\times10^{23}}=4.664\times10^{-23}\,g$ (b) Molar mass of Fe=$55.845\,g/mol$ That is, the mass of $6.022\times10^{23}$ Si atoms is equal to 55.845 g. $\implies$ mass of 1 Fe atom=$\frac{55.845\,g}{6.022\times10^{23}}=9.273\times10^{-23}\,g$
