Question 1:
If one mole of carbon atoms weighs 12 gram, what is the mass (in gram) of 1 atom of carbon?
Answer:
One mole of carbon atoms weighs 12 g (Given)
i.e., mass of 1 mole of carbon atoms = 12 g
Then, mass of
number of carbon atoms = 12 g
Therefore, mass of 1 atom of carbon 

Question 2:
Which has more number of atoms, 100 grams of sodium or 100 grams of iron (given, atomic mass of Na = 23 u, Fe = 56 u)?
Answer:
Atomic mass of Na = 23 u (Given)
Then, gram atomic mass of Na = 23 g
Now, 23 g of Na contains =
number of atoms
Thus, 100 g of Na contains
number of atoms
=
number of atoms
Again, atomic mass of Fe = 56 u(Given)
Then, gram atomic mass of Fe = 56 g
Now, 56 g of Fe contains =
number of atoms
Thus, 100 g of Fe contains
number of atoms
number of atoms
Therefore, 100 grams of sodium contain more number of atoms than 100 grams of iron.
