Which of the following correctly represents the number of atoms in one mole of CH3OH?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 3.6 × 1024.
One mole of CH₃OH (methanol) contains Avogadro's number of molecules, which is approximately 6.022×1023 molecules.
Each molecule of CH₃OH consists of 6 atoms: 1 carbon (C), 4 hydrogen (H), and 1 oxygen (O).
Therefore, in one mole of CH₃OH, there are 6.022×1023 molecules × 6 atoms/molecule = 3.613×1024 atoms.
This correctly represents the total number of atoms in one mole of CH₃OH.
