Chapter 2, Problem 57E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Diamond:

It is a solid form of a carbon with a cubic crystal structure. It is formed from carbon under high pressure and temperature. The molar mass of diamond is $12.01$ g/mole with symbol C.

Concept introduction:

Molar mass of diamond $=12.01\text{ g/mole}$

Number of atoms present in one mole $=6.022\times {10}^{23}$

Number of carbon atoms $=\frac{\text{avagadro number }}{\text{Molar mass}}\times \text{Mass}$

To determine:

How many carbon atoms are there in a diamond with a mass of $52$ mg?
