Calculate the number of electrons present in 24 grams of carbon?

Dear Student,

Mass of Carbon given (m) = 24 gm
Molar mass of Carbon (M) = 12 gm/mol

Number of moles of Carbon (n) = Mass (m)Molar mass (M)
        n=mM
       n=24 gm12 gm/moln=2 moles
According to mole concept,

1 mole of Carbon atoms = 6.022 x 1023 atoms of Carbon
2 moles of Carbon atoms = 2 x 6.022 x 1023 atoms of Carbon
                                         = 12.044 x 1023 atoms of Carbon

Now, one atom of Carbon contains 6 electrons.
So, 12.044 x 1023 atoms of Carbon = 6 x 12.044 x 1023 electrons of Carbon
                                                         = 72.264 x 1023 electrons of Carbon.
                                                         = 7.23 x 1024 electrons of Carbon.

Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic.

Keep asking!!

no. of mole of c=24/12
                          =2mol
no. of atom in c=2*6.022*1023
                         =12.044*1023
                             
=1.2044*1024
no. of electron=1*1.2044*1024
                           
=1.2044*1024 electrons

1.2044*10 raise to the power 24.....
