Question

If you have 18 grams of carbon, how many moles of carbon do you have?

Answer 1

1.499moles

Explanations:

Given the following parameters

Mass of Carbon = 18 grams

Molar mass of carbon = 12.011 g/mole

Calculate the moles of carbon

`\begin{gathered} \text{Moles of C=}\frac{Mass}{Molar\text{ mass}} \\ \end{gathered}`

Substitute the given parameters

`\begin{gathered} \text{Moles of C=}\frac{18g}{12.011g\text{/mol}} \\ \text{Moles of C}=1.499\text{moles} \end{gathered}`

Hence the number of moles of carbon is 1.499moles
