Answer:

moles is measured in mol without an e

therefore, the formula for calculating for mole or the amount of substance in chemistry is mass per molar mass of which the molar mass has an SI unit of g/mol

therefore, let's substitute the figures into the equation

1. first solve for the molar mass of carbon

which is you double the atomic number of carbon

carbon has an atomic number of 6 so the relative molecular mass will be 2×6=12 g/mol

solving the question will be -->120g/12g/mol

which gives an answer of 10mol in the content
