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.
