How many carbon atoms make up a 5.85 g piece of graphite?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

@aaronq stuck on this one. can you please help?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

First find moles, \(moles=\dfrac{mass}{Molar~mass}\) then find atoms, \(moles=\dfrac{atoms}{Avogadro's~number}\)

OpenStudy (ashley1nonly):

5.85g graphite 1 mole 6.022 x 10^23 ----------- x ----------- x ------------------ = answer 1 molar mass 1 mole which is basically what aaronq said

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

@Ashley1nOnly so i'm right?

OpenStudy (ashley1nonly):

what your answer

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

2.93

OpenStudy (ashley1nonly):

OpenStudy (ashley1nonly):

let me solve

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

ok

OpenStudy (ashley1nonly):

did you use 12.01 for you molar mass
