Question

If one mole of carbon atoms weighs 12 grams, what is the mass ( in grams ) of 1 atom of carbon?

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Dear}\mathrm{user}, \\ \mathrm{One}\mathrm{mole}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{carbon}\mathrm{atom}\mathrm{weighs}12\mathrm{gram}\mathrm{that}\mathrm{is}6.022\times {10}^{23} \\ \mathrm{atoms}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{carbon}\mathrm{weigh}12\mathrm{gram}.\mathrm{Therefore}, \\ \mathrm{One}\mathrm{atom}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{carbon}\mathrm{weighs}=12/6.022\times {10}^{23} \\ =1.993\times {10}^{-23}\mathrm{gram} \end{gathered}$$
