calculating mass of one atom urgent

in order to calculate the mass of one atom of Ti-49, I did 49/6.022x10^23 = 8.136x10^-23

However the mark schemes days the correct answer is 8.136x10^-26, how is this so???

Thanks in advance :tongue:

What is 49? Because if it is the nucleon number then you may have to account for the mass of the protons as well as the neutrons and watch out for units

49 accounts for protons and neutrons, it's an isotope of Titanium but as Charco said I just forgot to convery from g---> kg :tongue:
