    Which of the following would contain the same number of atoms as 20 g of calcium? [At. masses:\[Ca=40,\text{ }Mg=24,\text{ }C=12\]]

    A)  24 g of magnesium

    B)  12 g of carbon

    C)  24 g of carbon     

    D)  12 g of magnesium

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Number of atoms in 40 g of\[Ca=6.022\times {{10}^{23}}\] (Avogadros number) \[\therefore \]Number of atoms in 20 g of Ca \[=\frac{6.022\times {{10}^{23}}\times 20}{40}=3.011\times {{10}^{23}}\] Like this \[\because \]Number of atoms in 24 g of Mg \[=6.022\times {{10}^{23}}\] \[\therefore \]Number of atoms in 12 g of Mg \[=\frac{6.022\times {{10}^{23}}\times 12}{24}\] \[=3.011\times {{10}^{23}}\]
