Given mass of oxygen = 100 g
Gram atomic mass of carbon = 12 g
Gram atomic mass of oxygen = 16 g
Let the required mass of carbon be x grams.
Number of atoms of carbon = number of atoms of oxygen.
Number of atoms = Mass of elementGram atomic mass×Avogadro's number [1 Mark]
∴ x12×6.022×1023=10016×6.022×1023
[1 Mark]
⇒x=100×1216=75
Hence, 75 grams of carbon contains as many atoms as 100 g of oxygen. [1 Mark]
