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
Added by Jeremy T.
Step 1
Since there are 6.02 * 10^23 atoms in 12g, we can set up a proportion to find the number of atoms in 1g: (6.02 * 10^23 atoms) / (12g) = x atoms / (1g) Now, we can solve for x: x atoms = (6.02 * 10^23 atoms) * (1g) / (12g) x atoms = (6.02 * 10^23 atoms) / 12 x Show more…

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?
