C2. What the mass of 1.00 mole of stearic acid?
284.483 g
C3. How many molecules are in 1.00 gram of stearic acid?
There are N A molecules in 284.482 g, so

C4. How many atoms are there in 1.00 cm3?
You would need to know a density to calculate this. There is no set volume for a mole of
a solid as there is for an ideal gas at STP.
