1. Avogadro's Number:
* Avogadro's number tells us the number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in one mole of a substance. It's approximately 6.022 x 10^23 particles/mole.
2. Calculation:
* Step 1: Multiply the moles of carbon by Avogadro's number to find the number of atoms:
(1.0 x 10^-4 moles) * (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mole) = 6.022 x 10^19 atoms
Answer: There are approximately 6.022 x 10^19 carbon atoms in 1.0 x 10^-4 moles of carbon.
