First you need to solve for the number of moles in each. 
1 mole of anything = atomic mas of that element (g)

Carbon has an atomic mass of 12.0107
1 mole of Carbon = 12.0107 g

Iron has an atomic mass of 55.845
1 mole of Iron = 55.845 g

now convert each from grams to moles 
(grams of Carbon cancel and you are left with moles of carbon)
<u>100.0 g Carbon x 1 mol Carbon </u> = 8.326 mol Carbon
       12.0107 g Carbon

(grams of Iron will cancel and you are left with moles of iron)
<u>100.0 g Iron x 1 mol Iron</u> = 1.791 mol Iron
      55.845 g Iron

now we can use avogadro's number to solve for the amount of atoms in each 
1 mol = 6.02x10^23 atoms

<u>8.326 mol Carbonx 6.02 x 10^23 atoms </u> = 5.012 x 10^24 atoms Carbon<u>
</u>        1 mol Carbon
<u>
</u><u>1.791 mol Iron x 6.02 x 10^23 atoms </u> = 1.078 x 10^24 atoms Iron<u>
</u>        1 mol Iron
<u>
</u>5.012 x 10^24 atoms Carbon > 1.078 x 10^24 atoms Iron
<u>
</u>

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Explanation: n=m/M(molar mass)

n=24.3 grams/(16+2x1.008)grams/moles(molar mass of H2O)

n=24.3grams/18.016grams/moles

n=1.35moles
