Detailed Solution

Atomic mass of argon is the mass of argon atoms present in its mole and its value is given as 40. Number of argon atoms present in one mole of argon atoms is 6.023×1023. This indicates that the mass of 6.023×1023 argon atoms is 40.

Number of argon atoms present in one mole=6.023×1023 atomsMass of one mole of argon atom=40Mass of 6.023×1023 argon atoms=40

 If a mole is defined as 3×1024 atoms instead of 6.023×1023 atoms, then mass of 3×1024 argon atoms is determined as:

 Mass present in 3×1024 argon atoms=3×1024 argon atoms×406.023×1023 argon atoms =199
