Question

How many carbon atoms are there in .500 mol of CO2?

Answer 1

Answer: There are $3.011 \times 10^{23}$ atoms present in 0.500 mol of $CO_{2}$.

Explanation:

According to the mole concept, there are $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ atoms present in 1 mole of a substance.

In a molecule of $CO_{2}$ there is only one carbon atom present. Therefore, number of carbon atoms present in 0.500 mol of $CO_{2}$ are as follows.

$1 \times 0.500 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 3.011 \times 10^{23}$

Thus, we can conclude that there are $3.011 \times 10^{23}$ atoms present in 0.500 mol of $CO_{2}$.
