The isotopic abundance of C-12 and C-14 ...

The isotopic abundance of `C-12` and `C-14 "is" 98%` and `2%` respectively. What would be the number of `C-14` isotope in `12 g` carbon sample?

A

`1.2xx10^(22)`

B

`3.01xx10^(23)`

C

`5.88xx10^(23)`

D

`6.02xx10^(23)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`M_(avg) = 12xx0.98+140.2=12.04`
`n_(C^(12))=(12)/(12.04)=0.996`
Atoms of `C ^(14)=0.996xx(2)/(100)xxN_(A)`
`=0.997xx10^(21)=9.97xx10^(20)`
