Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the given information: the mass of carbon is 18 g, and you need to find the number of moles of carbon atoms.
Recall the molar mass of carbon (C), which is the mass of one mole of carbon atoms. The molar mass of carbon is approximately 12 g/mol.
Use the formula to calculate moles from mass: \(\text{moles} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}\).
Substitute the known values into the formula: \(\text{moles} = \frac{18\ \text{g}}{12\ \text{g/mol}}\).
Perform the division to find the number of moles of carbon atoms in 18 g of carbon.
