Problem E7 converting atoms to moles

[Andrea- 3J]

E7 "A molecule of human DNA was found to contain 2.1x10^9 atoms of carbon. Calculate the chemical amount (in moles) of carbon atoms in the molecule of DNA."
Can we submit problems from the sixth edition chemistry textbook?

The problem above is asking for atoms to be converted to moles. I just need some clarification with this problem. Are we supposed to divide 2.1x10^9 atoms of c by avogadro's number (6.022x10^23)? Is this just a one step problem?

Since it's asking for moles and you're given number of atoms, it's like you said how you just need to divide by Avogadro's number

Yes, you are able to submit questions from the sixth edition. On the syllabus, it will show the questions you need to answer for the sixth edition.

Yes, you need to divide by Avogadro's constant in order to convert from atoms to moles. And yes, you can submit questions from the sixth edition, just make sure that it's clearly written somewhere on your homework (alongside the chapter and homework number) before you turn it in :)

Yes, all you have to do is convert the atoms to moles so you would divide 2.1x10^9 by 6.022x10^23 to get your final answer
