Question 7 • LA-Chemistry A

What is Avogadro’s number?

Answer
A
the number of atoms in exactly 14.00 g of carbon-12
B
the number of atoms in a kilogram of any substance
C
the number of atoms, molecules, ions, formula units, or other particles in a mole of a substance
D
the number of atoms, molecules, ions, formula units, or other particles in a gram of a substance

Explanation

Avogadro’s number is the number of particles in one mole, approximately 6.022 × 10²³. The particles can be atoms, molecules, ions, formula units, or other specified entities, so choice C is correct. It is not a fixed number of particles in a gram or kilogram, since those masses contain different amounts of substance.
