Marble is primarily composed of calcite (calcium carbonate, CaCO₃), which consists of three types of atoms: calcium (Ca), carbon (C), and oxygen (O). Each molecule of calcite contains one calcium atom, one carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms, totaling five atoms per molecule. To determine the number of atoms in a specific piece of marble, you would need to know its mass and use the molar mass of calcite to calculate the number of molecules and then multiply by five. Therefore, the total number of atoms varies significantly based on the size and mass of the marble sample.

What is the Number of atoms in marble?

Marble is primarily composed of calcite, which is a mineral made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Each molecule of CaCO3 contains 5 atoms (one calcium, one carbon, and three oxygen atoms). The number of atoms in a specific sample of marble depends on its mass and the density of calcite, but a typical gram of marble contains approximately 10^22 to 10^23 atoms. Thus, the total number of atoms in a piece of marble can be extremely large, depending on its size.

Why does a marble have more mass than a piece of popcorn?

A marble has more mass than a piece of popcorn having a similar size, because the material in the marble is denser than popcorn.The atoms in the marble's elements are more closely structured, whereas the popcorn is an expanded carbohydrate starch with a substantial amount of liquid (water) and gas (air) inside. The marble was also already more dense than the unpopped kernel.


How many atoms are in a stone?

If you specified the weight of the stone and the chemical composition of the stone (such as granite, marble, feldspar etc.) then it would be possible to calculate approximately how many atoms are in the stone, although even then, it's just an approximation, we cannot tell you the precise number. For a stone of unknown weight and unknown compostion, we could offer at most a wild guess. My wild guess is, roughly 1024 atoms.
