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 of Carbon given (m) = 24 gm
Molar mass of Carbon (M) = 12 gm/mol
Number of moles of Carbon (n) =
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.
