What is the hybridisation of carbon atom in diamond and graphite? 0.1 mole of Buckminster fullerene contains how many kg of carbon? [Atomic mass of carbon = 12] |
|
Answer» Hybridisation of carbon atom in diamond is sp3 and that in graphite is sp2 . The chemical formula of Buckminster fullerene is C60. \(\therefore\) 1 mole of C60 contains 60 moles of C. 0.1 mole of C60 will contain 6.0 moles of C. Weight of C-atoms = Number of moles of C \(\times\) atomic mass of C = 6.0\(\times\)12 = 72.0 g = 0.072 kg \(\therefore\) 0.1 mole of Buckminster fullerene contains 0.072 kg of carbon. |
