I think to measure the age of the rock
Atoms can be the source of both nuclear and chemical energy. Nuclear energy involves the atom's nucleus; chemical energy involves the atom's electrons—subatomic particles that surround the nucleus.
32.6 grams divided by the molar mass of C2H6, which is 18.0584g/mol = 1.8 moles of C2H6.
As there are two carbon atoms per C2H6, we must multiply the number of moles of C2H6 by 2 to get the number of moles of Carbon which is 3.6 moles.
The answer is 3.6 moles.
Hope this helps.
