Answer:
9.6352× 10²⁰ C atoms
Explanation:
From the given information,
The molar mass of Carbon = 12 g/mol
number of moles = 0.020g/ 12 g/mol
number of moles = 0.0016 mol
If 1 mole of C = 6.022 × 10²³ C atoms
∴
0.0016 mol of C = (6.022 × 10²³ C atoms/ 1 mol of C)×0.0016 mol of C
= 9.6352× 10²⁰ C atoms
Hence, the number of carbon atoms present in 0.020 g of carbon = 9.6352× 10²⁰ C atoms
