If one mole of carbon atom weighs 12g, what is the mass in grams of 1 atom of carbon?

Mass of one mole of carbon atom =12 g

 A mole of carbon contains $6.022\times1023$ atoms.

Hence, the mass of 6.022×1023 atoms of carbon =12 g

Mass of 1 atom of carbon =$\frac{12}{6.022×10}$  ​ =$1.993\times10^{-23}$ g
