Detailed Solution

7 mg=7×10-3 g

Molar mass of 14C is 14 g/mol and moles present in 7×10-3 g is:

Moles=7×10-3 g14 g/mol=5×10-4 mol

There are 8 neutrons in 14C:

Number of neutrons=8×5×10-4 mol×6.023×1023 mol-1=2.4092×1021

Mass present in 2.4092×1021neutrons

 Mass of one neutron =1.675×1027kg                                     =1.675×1027×2.4088×1021                                      =4.0354×106 kg
