Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] 4.28 × 10²³ atoms C

[Solve] moles C

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

Step 3: Convert

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                     [tex]\displaystyle 4.28 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ C(\frac{1 \ mol \ C}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ C})[/tex]
  2. [DA] Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                                        [tex]\displaystyle 0.710727 \ moles \ C[/tex]

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

0.710727 moles C ≈ 0.711 moles C
