How do you calculate the mass of one mole of such hydrogen giving your answer to atoms four decimal places? (The Avogadro constant, L= 6.0225 xx 10^23 mol^-16.0225×1023mol1)?

"Mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atoms"Mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atoms == "Mass of 1 hydrogen atom"xx"N"_AMass of 1 hydrogen atom×NA, where "N"_A=L=6.0225xx10^23*mol^-1NA=L=6.0225×1023mol1.

Explanation:

"Mass of 1 hydrogen atom"Mass of 1 hydrogen atom == 1.6727xx10^{-27}*"kg"1.6727×1027kg (from this site).

And thus, "mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atoms"mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atoms ==

1.6727xx10^(-27)*"kg"xx6.0225xx10^23*mol^-1xx10^(3)*"g"*kg^-11.6727×1027kg×6.0225×1023mol1×103gkg1

=1.007*"g"*"mol"^-1=1.007gmol1

Clearly, you would not be expected to know these masses. You would be expected to be able to do such a calculation if provided with the masses of the nucleon, and with "Avogadro's number"Avogadro's number.
