point out the difference between 12 gram of carbon and 12 AMU of carbon
Answers
Explanation:
Since a carbon atom weighs 12 AMU, one AMU is equivalent to 1.66 x 10-24 grams. Conversely, one gram is equivalent to 6.022 x 1023 AMU, which is Avogadro's number.
ANSWER:
12 AMU of carbon means “1/12th the mass of carbon”- 12 and Twelve (12) grams of Carbon stands for "one (1) Mole of Carbon".
EXPLANATION:
AMU is known for (Atomic Mass Unit) which is 1/12th the “mass of atoms of carbon” 12, it is expressed in relative mass.
Carbon is recognized by the symbol C having Atomic weight. 12 and Atomic No. 6
So, 12 g of carbon will be 1 mole of carbon, it is expressed in gram of an atomic mass.
No of Mole = Mass Molecular weight
