Question

0.5 mol diamond, how many carbon atoms

A) 6.02 x 10²³
B) 3.01 x 10²³
C) 1.51 x 10²³
D) 0.25 x 10²³

Answer 1

0.5 mol of diamond contains 3.01 x 10^23 carbon atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of carbon atoms in 0.5 mol of diamond, we can use Avogadro's number. Avogadro's number is defined as 6.02 x 1023 atoms/mol. So, when we multiply 0.5 mol by Avogadro's number, we get the number of carbon atoms.

0.5 mol x 6.02 x 1023 atoms/mol = 3.01 x 1023 atoms.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A) 6.02 x 1023.
