How many atoms are in 3.20 moles of carbon
1 answer:
Answer:
19.264× atoms are present in 3.2 moles of carbon.
Explanation:
It is known that one mole of each element is composed of Avagadro's number of atoms. This is same for all the elements in the periodic table.
So, as 1 mole of any element = Avagadro's number of atoms = 6.02× atoms
It is as simple as understanding a dozen of anything is equal to 12 pieces of that object.
As here the moles of carbon is given as 3.20 moles, the number of atoms in this mole can be determined as below.
1 mole of carbon = 6.02 × atoms
Then, 3.20 moles of carbon = 3.20 × 6.02 × atoms
Thus, 19.264× atoms are present in 3.2 moles of carbon.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
The half-life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73x10^3 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14 in a tiny sample of an artifact made of woodfrom an archeological dig is measured to be 2.8x10^3 Bq. The activity in a similiar-sized sample of fresh wood is measured to be 3.0x10^3 Bq. Calculate the age of the artifact. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
570 years
Explanation:
The activity of the fresh sample is taken as the initial activity of the wood sample while the activity measured at a time t is the present activity of the wood artifact. The time taken for the wood to attain its current activity can be calculated from the formula shown in the image attached. The activity at a time t must always be less than the activity of a fresh wood sample. Detailed solution is found in the image attached.
