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.
Explanation:
Answer: The number of particles in given amount of carbon is [tex]1.2044\times 10^{24}[/tex]
Explanation:
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]
Given mass of carbon = 24 g
Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\text{Moles of carbon}=\frac{24g}{12g/mol}=2mol[/tex]
According to mole concept:
1 mole of an element contains [tex]6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of particles
So, 2 moles of carbon will contain [tex]2\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.2044\times 10^{24}[/tex] number of particles.
Hence, the number of particles in given amount of carbon is [tex]1.2044\times 10^{24}[/tex]
