If one mole of carbon atoms weighs 12grams, what is the mass (in grams) of 1 atom of carbon?
Calculating the mass of the Carbon atom
It is given that 1 mole of carbon atoms weighs 12grams.
Also in 1 mole of carbon atoms, there are Avogadro's number of atoms that
If weight 12 grams
1 carbon atom will weigh
Therefore, the mass (in grams) of 1 atom of carbon is .
