There are 23 atoms in carbon 12.

Parker · Answer 2

6.02x10^23 atoms

Explanation:

From the background knowledge of Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 atoms. This implies that 1mole of carbon also contains 6.02x10^23 atoms.

1mole of carbon = 12g.

Therefore, 12g of carbon contains 6.02x10^23 atoms
