Answer to Problem 2.61QA

Solution:

(a) CH4:The number of carbon atoms is 1.

(b) C3H8: The number of carbon atoms is 3.

(c) C6H6: The number of carbon atoms is 6.

(d) C6H12O6: The number of carbon atoms is 6.

Explanation of Solution

Avogadro’s number is equal to 6.022*1023 atoms or molecules.

1 mole = 6.022*1023 molecules.

a) CH4Here we can use Avogadro’s number as a conversion factor to calculate number of atoms in 1 molecule of CH4.

1 molecule CH4 × 1 mole CH46.023×1023 molecule ×1 mole C1 mole CH4×6.023×1023 C atoms 1 mole C= 1 atom of carbon.

(b) C3H8  - Here we can use Avogadro’s number as a conversion factor to calculate number of atoms in 1 molecule of C3H8

1 molecule C3H8 × 1 mole C3H86.023×1023 molecule ×3 mole C1 mole C3H8×6.023×1023 C atoms 1 mole C= 3 atoms of carbon.

(c) C6H6 - Here we can use Avogadro’s number as a conversion factor to calculate number of atoms in 1 molecule of C6H6.

1 molecule C6H6 × 1 mole C6H66.023×1023 molecule ×6 mole C1 mole C6H6×6.023×1023 C atoms 1 mole C= 6 atoms of carbon

(d) C6H12O6 - Here we can use Avogadro’s number as a conversion factor to calculate number of atoms in 1 molecule of C6H12O6.

1 molecule C6H12O6 × 1 mole C6H12O66.023×1023 molecule ×6 mole C1 mole C6H12O6×6.023×1023 C atoms 1 mole C= 6 atoms of carbon

Conclusion:

The number of carbon atoms can be calculated by using Avogadro’s number.
