Best Answer

To determine this we must first know what the molar mass of Carbon is and that equals 12.01g. This mean for every 12.01g of Carbon, we have one mole. Therefore:

  • 48gC x (1 mole C/ 12.01g C) = 3.99 moles
  • Rounded off, in 48g of Carbon there are about 4 moles.

From the Periodic Table, the Atomic Mass of carbon, C is 12.0Amount of C = mass of sample/molar mass = 48/12.0 = 4.0mol

There are 4.0 moles of carbon in a 48g pure sample.

12g of carbon = one mole of carbon.

1g =1/12 moles

24g = 1/12 24x =2moles

48/12 = 4 moles of C atoms are in 48g of carbon-12.

So there are 4 x 6.022 x 1023 = 2.4088 x 1024 total atoms.
