A student puts his signature with graphite pencil.if the mass of carbon in the signature is 10 to the power -12g, calculate the number of carbon atoms in the signature
Open in App
Solution
12 g of carbon contains = 6.022×10^23 atoms
Mass of carbon pencil = (10^-12 ) gram 10^-12 g of carbon contains = (6.022×10^23/12)×10^-12 Hence , 0.501×10^-11carbon atoms are present in the signature.
