Vedclass · Answer

(C) One mole of carbon atoms contains $6.022 	imes 10^{23}$ atoms (Avogadro's number).The molar mass of carbon is $12 \, g/mol$.Therefore,the mass of $6.022 	imes 10^{23}$ carbon atoms is $12 \, g$.The mass of $1$ carbon atom is calculated as:$	ext{Mass of } 1 	ext{ atom} = \frac{	ext{Molar mass}}{	ext{Avogadro's number}}$$	ext{Mass of } 1 	ext{ atom} = \frac{12}{6.022 	imes 10^{23}} \, g$$	ext{Mass of } 1 	ext{ atom} \approx 1.99 	imes 10^{-23} \, g$.

If one mole of carbon atoms weighs $12 \, g$,what is the mass (in grams) of $1$ atom of carbon?
