The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is incorrect, we need to analyze each statement provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Moles and Avogadro's Number**: - Avogadro's number (approximately \(6.02 \times 10^{23}\)) is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in one mole of a substance. - The number of moles can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} \] 2. **Analyzing the First Statement**: - The statement claims that "one gram of carbon contains Avogadro's number of carbon atoms." - The molar mass of carbon (C) is 12 g/mol. Therefore, the number of moles in 1 gram of carbon is: \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{1 \text{ g}}{12 \text{ g/mol}} = \frac{1}{12} \text{ moles} \] - To find the number of carbon atoms, we multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number: \[ \text{Number of atoms} = \frac{1}{12} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} \approx 5.02 \times 10^{22} \text{ atoms} \] - This is not equal to Avogadro's number, hence this statement is incorrect. 3. **Analyzing the Second Statement**: - The statement says "1 mole of oxygen gas (O2) contains Avogadro's number of O2 molecules." - Since 1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of particles, this statement is correct. 4. **Analyzing the Third Statement**: - The statement claims "1 mole of hydrogen gas (H2) contains Avogadro's number of H2 molecules." - Similar to the previous statement, this is also correct as 1 mole of H2 will contain \(6.02 \times 10^{23}\) molecules of H2. 5. **Analyzing the Fourth Statement**: - The statement states "1 mole of electrons contains Avogadro's number of electrons." - Again, this is correct because 1 mole of any particle (including electrons) contains \(6.02 \times 10^{23}\) of those particles. ### Conclusion: The only incorrect statement is the first one, which claims that one gram of carbon contains Avogadro's number of carbon atoms. ### Final Answer: **The incorrect statement is: "One gram of carbon contains Avogadro's number of carbon atoms."** ---
