The mass of a single nitrogen atom is typically expressed in atomic mass units (u) or in grams (g). To convert it to kilograms (kg), we need to use the atomic mass constant.
The atomic mass of nitrogen (N) is approximately 14.007 u.
To convert from atomic mass units to grams, we can use the conversion factor: 1 u = 1.66053906660 x 10^(-24) g.
Therefore, the mass of a nitrogen atom in grams is:
14.007 u * (1.66053906660 x 10^(-24) g/u) = 2.3252145836 x 10^(-23) g.
To convert grams to kilograms, we divide by 1000:
(2.3252145836 x 10^(-23) g) / 1000 = 2.3252145836 x 10^(-26) kg.
So, the mass of a nitrogen atom is approximately 2.3252145836 x 10^(-26) kg.
