Answer:
49.8 moles
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to find how many moles are present in the given number of carbon atoms.
Given information:
The sample of charcoal is composed only of carbon atoms (C).
The sample contains 3.0 x 10^24 atoms.
We know that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 x 10^23 atoms or molecules (Avogadro's constant).
To find the number of moles, we need to divide the given number of atoms by Avogadro's constant.
Number of moles = Number of atoms / Avogadro's constant
Number of moles = (3.0 x 10^24 atoms) / (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mole)
Number of moles = 49.8 moles
Therefore, the sample of charcoal containing 3.0 x 10^24 carbon atoms corresponds to 49.8 moles.
