What would be the mass of 6.022 x 10^23 argon atoms?

39.948g Ar, or if you need to round it up then 39.95g

Explanation:

Conversion units: 1 mole is 6.022 x 10^23 molecules, that includes atoms too.

First Step: Convert atoms to moles:

6.022 x 10^23 Ar atoms × = 1 mole Ar

Second Step: Convert moles to grams

There is 39.948 grams in one mole of Argon so

1 mole Ar x 39.948g = 39.948g

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
