Answer

There are $3.01 \times 10^{23} atoms$ of carbon (C) in 0.500 mole of that.

Work Step by Step

1. State the data and objective: $0.500$ mole of $C$ Objective: Number of C atoms. 2. Identify the conversion factor. Using Avogadro's number: 1 mole $C$ $= 6.02 \times 10^{23}$ $C$ $atoms$ $\frac{1 mole (C)}{6.02 \times 10^{23} atoms (C)}$ and $\frac{6.02 \times 10^{23} atoms (C)}{1 mole (C)}$ 3. Use the conversion factor and the data to calculate the number of C atoms: $0.500 mole (C) \times \frac{6.02 \times 10^{23} atoms (C)}{1 mole(C)} = 3.01 \times 10^{23} atoms (C)$
