The mass of a carbon atom is 1.994 × 10-23 grams. The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.67 × 10-24 grams. What is the difference of their masses? ( scientific notation)

0.324 × 10-24 grams
1.827 × 10-23 grams
1.827 × 10-24 grams
0.324 × 10-23 grams

Answer 1

Solving:

`1.994*10^(-23)\:-\:1.67*10^(-24) =`

`(1.994 - 0.167 )*10^(-23)`

`\boxed{\boxed{1.827*10^(-23)\:grams}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark`
