(a)
Given Data :
Given mass of carbon = 12 g
Step 1 : Calculate the number of moles in 12 g of carbon - 12 element.Number of moles of carbon
Number of moles of carbon
Number of moles of carbon = 1 mole
Step 2 : Calculate the number of atoms in 12 g of carbon - 12 element.Number of moles of carbon
Number of atoms = 1 × 6.022 × 1023 = 6.022 × 1023
Conclusion :Therefore, 6.022 × 1023 atoms are there in exactly 12 g of carbon-12 element.
(b)
The name given to this number is Avogadro's number.
Avagadro's number = 6.022 × 1023
(c)
1 mole of substance contains this number of atoms.
1 mole = 6.022 × 1023 number of atoms
