If you could count two atoms every second, how long would it take you to count a mole of atoms? Assume that you counted continually for 24 hours every day. How does the time you calculated compare with the age of Earth, which is estimated to be $4.5 \times 10^{9}$ years old?

in 12g of carbon, there are 6.02*10^23 carbon atoms. if you could count 1 atom per second how long would it take to count the atoms in 1g of carbon
