1. Convert grams to moles:
* The molar mass of carbon is 12.011 g/mol.
* Divide the mass of carbon by its molar mass: 10.0 g / 12.011 g/mol = 0.832 mol
2. Convert moles to atoms:
* Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23) represents the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance.
* Multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number: 0.832 mol * 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol = 5.01 x 10^23 atoms
Therefore, there are approximately 5.01 x 10^23 atoms of carbon in 10.0 grams of carbon.
