What is the mass (in grams) of 6.02 × 1023 atoms of Carbon-12?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Step 1: Recall that 6.02 × 10^23 atoms is Avogadro's number, which represents one mole of a substance. This means you are dealing with one mole of Carbon-12 atoms.
Step 2: Understand that the molar mass of Carbon-12 is 12.01 g/mol. This value represents the mass of one mole of Carbon-12 atoms.
Step 3: Use the relationship between moles, molar mass, and mass. The formula is: m=n⁢M, where m is the mass, n is the number of moles, and M is the molar mass.
Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula. Here, n is 1 mole (since 6.02 × 10^23 atoms is one mole), and M is 12.01 g/mol.
Step 5: Perform the multiplication to find the mass. The result will be the mass of 6.02 × 10^23 atoms of Carbon-12 in grams.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Avogadro's Number

Avogadro's Number, approximately 6.02 x 10^23, is the number of atoms, molecules, or particles in one mole of a substance. This constant is fundamental in chemistry for converting between the number of particles and the amount of substance in moles, allowing for calculations involving atomic and molecular quantities.
