Solution

12 mg carbon = 12 × 10–3 g carbon

Number of moles = `"Mass of a substance"/"Molar mass of a substance"`

= `(12xx10^-3  "g")/(12  "g mol"^-1)` = 1 × 10−3 mol

Number of atoms = Number of moles × Avogadro's constant

Number of atoms of carbon = 1 × 10–3 mol × 6.022 × 1023 atoms/mol

= 6.022 × 1020 atoms

Number of atoms of carbon in 12 mg homework writing = 6.022 × 1020 atoms
