Answer

$10.\,u$

Work Step by Step

75 g corresponds to 7.5 moles of atoms $\implies 75g\,corresponds\,to\,7.5\times6.02\times10^{23}\,atoms$ $=4.515\times10^{24}\,atoms$ Average mass of the atoms=$\frac{75\,g}{4.515\times10^{24}}=1.66\times10^{-23}g$ In atomic mass units, Average mass of the atoms=$1.66\times10^{-23}g\times\frac{1\,u}{1.66\times10^{-24}g}=10.\,u$
