Approx. 1×1022carbon atoms.

Explanation:

We got 5.85g of CBr4.

This represents a molar quantity of .................

5.85g331.63gmol1=0.0176mol

And of course in such a molar quantity, there are 4×0.0176mol of bromine, and 1×0.0176mol of carbon. Are you with me?

And so we take the product of the molar quantity and Avogadro's number, to get.......

0.0176mol×6.022×1023mol1=1.06×1022 individual carbon atoms.....
