If you could count 1 atom per second, it would take you 6.02 x 10^23 seconds to count the atoms in 12.0 g of carbon. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day and approximately 365 days in a year, this is equivalent to (6.02 x 10^23)/(60 x 60 x 24 x 365) = approximately 19 billion years.

What is the period number for Carbon and how do you find it?

Carbon is in period 2. To find the period number, you can look at the row in which the element is located on the periodic table. Carbon is in the second row of the periodic table, so it is in period 2.


How many electrons does carbon have on its second shell?

Carbon has 4 electrons on its second shell. This is calculated based on the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the second shell, which is 8.


What is the number of the penultimate carbon in a three carbon sugar?

In a three-carbon sugar, also known as a triose, the penultimate carbon is the second carbon atom in the chain. Therefore, in a triose, the numbering of the carbon atoms would be as follows: the first carbon is C1, the second carbon is C2 (the penultimate carbon), and the third carbon is C3.


Write 40 as a fraction?

To express a number as a fraction, it needs to be related to a second number. The first number becomes the numerator and the second number becomes the denominator. 2 is 1/3 of 6 because when one writes 2/6 it can be simplified to 1/3. 40 cannot be expressed as a true fraction until one has a second number to be the denominator in 40/X The only way to express 40 as a fraction is to write it as 40/1.


What unit is used to express the frequency of a wave?

The unit used to express the frequency of a wave is Hertz (Hz). It represents the number of complete cycles or oscillations of a wave that occur in one second.


How do you indicate that a methyl group is attached to the second carbon atom in a hydrocarbon?

To indicate that a methyl group is attached to the second carbon atom in a hydrocarbon, you use the IUPAC naming system. You would name the base hydrocarbon chain and then use a locant (number) to specify the position of the methyl group. For example, if the base hydrocarbon is butane and a methyl group is attached to the second carbon, it would be named 2-methylbutane. The number "2" indicates the position of the carbon to which the methyl group is attached.


How can you express a ratio as a fraction?

Usually you would put the first number in the ratio into the fraction's numerator (top part), and the second number into the fraction's denominator (bottom part).


What makes an irrational number different from a rational number?

A rational number cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers, the second of which is positive.


What is the difference between Nylon 6-10 and Nylon 10-6?

The first number of the code is the number carbon donated but the diamine copolymer.The second number of the code is the number carbon donated but the diacid copolymer.Types of nylon with different code have of course different physical properties.


Is meters per second a way to express units in velocity?

No, velocity is a vector, not a scalar. Metres per second is a way to express speed but to express velocity you also need a direction.


A car travels at 55 miles per hour Express its speed in meters per second Enter the number only?

the car would move a 24.5872meters per second.


Is carbon and nitrogen in the same period?

Yes, both carbon and nitrogen are in the second period of the periodic table. This means they have the same number of electron shells, which contributes to their similar chemical properties.
