Question

If the atomic mass of carbon is 12 amu, how much mass of carbon would be needed to have anAvogadro's number (1 mole) of carbon atoms?A. 12 mgB. 12 gC. 12 kgD. 12 lbs

Answer 1

Given:

Atomic mass of carbon = 12 amu

Let's find how much mass of carbon would be needed to have an Avogadro's number (1 mole) of carbon atoms.

Given that the atomic mass of carbon is 12 atomic mass unit (amu), the amount of mass that would be need for 1 mole of carbon atom is = 12 g

ANSWER:

12 g
