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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Molar mass of carbon=12g
Now `6.022xx10^(23)` atoms of carbon have mass=12g
`therefore "one atoms of carbon has mass "=(12g)xx(1"atom")/(6.022xx10^(23)"atoms")=1.99xx10^(-23)g`
