Answer:
Mass of one mole of C12 = 12 g. somass of 1 atom of C12 = 1.9927e-23 g. Now coming to part where you multiplied 12 amu to 1.66e-24 g. Carbon have 12 intra nuclear particles (i.e 6 protons and 6 neutrons), each having avg mass of 1 amu which is equivalent to 1.66e-24 g.

1.99 x 10^-23 Grams
Given:
The mass of 1 mole of carbon atom = 12 grams
Avogadro's constant
= 6.022 x 10^23 atoms
Mass of atoms of carbon = 12 grams
To Find:
Mass of one atom of C12 in grams
Calculating:
To find the mass of Carbon atom we use the formula:
Mass of Carbon / Avogadro's Constant
Substituting the values into the formula mentioned above we get:
= 12 / 6.022 x 10^23
= 1.99 x 10^-23 Grams
Therefore, the mass of one atom of C12 atom in Grams is 1.99 x 10^-23 Grams.
