  • Carbon Atoms in One Mole of Butane: A Detailed Calculation
    Here's how to figure that out:

    * Butane's Formula: Butane has the chemical formula C₄H₁₀. This means each molecule of butane contains 4 carbon atoms.

    * Avogadro's Number: One mole of any substance contains 6.022 x 10²³ particles (atoms, molecules, etc.).

    Calculation:

    Since one mole of butane contains 6.022 x 10²³ butane molecules, and each butane molecule has 4 carbon atoms:

    * Number of carbon atoms = (4 carbon atoms/molecule) * (6.022 x 10²³ molecules/mole)

    * Number of carbon atoms = 2.409 x 10²⁴ carbon atoms/mole

    Therefore, there are approximately 2.409 x 10²⁴ carbon atoms in one mole of butane.
