Question

What is equal to the number of particles in 24 grams of carbon- 12

Answer 1

Answer:The mole is a term for a very large number, 6.02 x 1023, known as Avogadro's number. Avogadro's number is the experimentally determined number of carbon-12 atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The number of particles in given amount of carbon is
`1.2044* 10^(24)`

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

`\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}`

Given mass of carbon = 24 g

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`\text{Moles of carbon}=(24g)/(12g/mol)=2mol`

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an element contains
`6.022* 10^(23)` number of particles

So, 2 moles of carbon will contain
`2* 6.022* 10^(23)=1.2044* 10^(24)` number of particles.

Hence, the number of particles in given amount of carbon is
`1.2044* 10^(24)`
