Answer : The number of carbon atoms present in isopropyl alcohol is, [tex]7.51\times 10^{23}[/tex]

Solution : Given,

Mass of isopropyl alcohol = 25 g

Molar mass of isopropyl alcohol = 60 g/mole

In isopropyl alcohol molecule, there are 3 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom present.

First we have to calculate the moles of isopropyl alcohol.

[tex]\text{Moles of }C_3H_8O=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_3H_8O}{\text{Molar mass of }C_3H_8O}=\frac{25g}{60g/mole}=0.416moles[/tex]

As we know that 1 mole of gas contains [tex]6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of atoms

As, 1 mole of gas contains [tex]3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of carbon atoms

So, 0.416 mole of gas contains [tex]0.146\times 3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=7.51\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of carbon atoms

Therefore, the number of carbon atoms present in isopropyl alcohol is, [tex]7.51\times 10^{23}[/tex]

There are 7.53×10²³ atoms of carbon in 25 g of isopropyl alcohol C₃H₈O

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 25 g of C₃H₈O. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of C₃H₈O = 25 g

Molar mass of C₃H₈O = (12×3) + (8×1) + 12

= 36 + 8 + 16 = 60 g/mol

Mole of C₃H₈O =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of C₃H₈O = 25 / 60

Mole of C₃H₈O = 0.417 mole

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of C in 0.417 mole of C₃H₈O.

1 mole of C₃H₈O contains 3 moles of C.

Therefore, 0.417 mole of C₃H₈O. Will contain = 0.417 × 3 = 1.251 moles of C.

Finally, we shall determine the number of atoms in 1.251 moles of C. this can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

1 mole of C = 6.02×10²³ atoms

Therefore,

1.251 moles of C = 1.251 × 6.02×10²³

1.251 moles of C = 7.53×10²³ atoms

Thus, we can conclude that 25.0 g of isopropyl alcohol, C₃H₈O contains 7.53×10²³ atoms of carbon.
