The number of mole of pure 11C (carbon-11) initially present is 0.2727 mole

<h3>Description of mole </h3>

The mole of a substance is related to it's mass and molar mass according to the following equation

Mole = mass / molar mass

With the above formula, we can obtain the number of mole of pure 11C. Detail below:

<h3>How to determine the mole of 11C</h3>

From the question given, the following data were obtained:

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole = 3 / 11

Mole = 0.2727 mole

Therefore, the number of mole of pure 11C initially present is 0.2727 mole
