Question

Rachel has a sample containing 2 moles of carbon. How many atoms of carbon are in this sample?

Answer 1

seeing as the answer is 12.041 and that is not an answer choice.

the best answer choice would be

6.022 x 10^ 46

Step-by-step explanation:

i am taking the plato course, seeing as the answer and explanation are in the previous comment you see the CORRECT answer choice simplified would be 12.041 but seeing as that is not an answer choice and the answer provided by me is equivalent that is the correct answer choice for PLATO.

(lol sorry for the essay i have four warnings from the same moderator...) :/

Answer 2

Answer: The atoms of carbon in the sample are
`12.044* 10^(23)` atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of atoms, we will use mole concept.

According to the mole concept:

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

We need to find the number of atoms of 2 moles of carbon, and it will be:

2 mole of carbon will contain
`2* 6.022* 10^(23)=12.044* 10^(23)` number of carbon atoms.

Hence, 2 moles of carbon contain
`12.044* 10^(23)` number of atoms.
