Question

If you have a 200.0 gram sample of carbon, how many moles of carbon do you have? A. 200.0 B. 17.0 C. 16.66 D. 12.01

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 17.0.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, considering that based on the atomic mass of the carbon atom, which means that 1 mole of carbon weights 12.01 grams, we can set up the following proportional factor to compute the moles of carbon in 200.0 grams:

$200.0gC*\frac{1molC}{12.01gC}\\\\17.0molC$

Thus, the answer would be B. 17.0.

Best regards!
