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 per mole.
2. Calculation
* Step 1: Multiply the number of moles of carbon by Avogadro's number:
2.85 moles C * (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mole) = 1.716 x 10^24 atoms
Answer: There are approximately 1.716 x 10^24 atoms of carbon in 2.85 moles of carbon.
