Identify the number of hydrogen atoms, which is 2 in this case.
Use Avogadro's number (N_A = 6.022 × 10^23 mol^-1) to convert the number of atoms to moles. The formula is n = N / N_A, where N is the number of particles.
Calculate the moles of hydrogen atoms using the formula: n = 2 / (6.022 × 10^23).
Use the molar mass of hydrogen (1.008 g/mol) to find the mass. The formula is m = n × M, where M is the molar mass.
Calculate the mass of 2 hydrogen atoms using the moles obtained in the previous step and the molar mass: m = (2 / (6.022 × 10^23)) × 1.008.
