A black dot used as a full stop at the end of a sentence has a mass of about one attogram. Assuming that dot is made up of carbon, calculate the approximate number of carbon atoms present in the dot?

Answer»

Solution :Mass of CARBON in DOT = 1 ATTOGRAM` =10^(-18)g`
Gram atomic mass of carbon = 12 g, i.e., 12 g of carbon contain `6.022xx10^(23)` atoms of carbon
`THEREFORE 10^(-18)" g of carbon will contain carbon atoms"=(6.022xx10^(23))/(12)xx10^(-18)=5.02xx10^(4)" atoms"`
