The correct Answer is:
To find the number of moles of carbon atoms present in the Kohinoor diamond weighing 3300 carats, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert carats to milligrams Given that 1 carat = 200 mg, we can convert the weight of the diamond from carats to milligrams. \[ \text{Weight in mg} = \text{Weight in carats} \times 200 \text{ mg/carat} \] \[ \text{Weight in mg} = 3300 \text{ carats} \times 200 \text{ mg/carat} = 660000 \text{ mg} \] ### Step 2: Convert milligrams to grams Since 1000 mg = 1 g, we can convert the weight from milligrams to grams. \[ \text{Weight in grams} = \frac{\text{Weight in mg}}{1000} \] \[ \text{Weight in grams} = \frac{660000 \text{ mg}}{1000} = 660 \text{ g} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of carbon To find the number of moles, we use the formula: \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{Weight in grams}}{\text{Molar mass of carbon}} \] The molar mass of carbon is approximately 12 g/mol. \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{660 \text{ g}}{12 \text{ g/mol}} = 55 \text{ moles} \] ### Final Answer The number of moles of carbon atoms present in the Kohinoor diamond is **55 moles**. ---
