Question
What is meant by ‘a mole of carbon atoms’ ?
Advertisements
Solution
A mole can be defined as the amount of a pure substance containing the same number of atoms, molecules or ions as present in exactly 12g of carbon. This refers to the value of 6.022 × 1023 atoms, molecules or ions of a substance.
Therefore, a mole of carbon atoms refers to a group of 6.022 × 1023 carbon atoms.
