moles of carbon (C) is equal to how many grams?
A
6.0 grams
B
12.0 grams
C
8.0 grams
D
14.0 grams
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Why use 12 grams? This is the theoretical atomic mass of the Carbon-12 isotope (6 protons and 6 neutrons). This means that the atomic mass or atomic weight (12 grams) of carbon is equal to exactly 1 mole of carbon.

Detailed explanation-2: -6 grams of carbon ( 1 mole/ 12 grams of carbon) = 1/2 moles. The answer is 1/2 moles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solution, There are 3.011 * 10²³ moles of atoms of carbon in 6 gm of carbon. We can simply find the number of atoms by using the mole concept. Hence, there are 3.011 * 10²³ moles of atoms of carbon in 6 gm of carbon.

Detailed explanation-4: -6.0 g of Carbon contains = 6.023 x 10 x 6 = 3.0115 x 1023 Carbon atoms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Expert-Verified Answer There are 0.50 moles precisely.
