SUMMARY
The calculation of the magnetic moment of nickel per kilogram involves using its atomic magnetic moment of 0.61 and atomic weight of 58.7. To determine the number of atoms in 1 kg of nickel, Avogadro's number is essential. The mass of one nickel atom is approximately 9.59 x 10-26 kg, derived from its atomic weight. The final magnetic moment per kilogram can be calculated by multiplying the number of atoms in 1 kg by the atomic magnetic moment.
