Calculate the number of molecules of sulphur `(S_(8))` present in 16 g of solid sulphur. |
|
Answer» The molecular formula of sulphur is given to the be ` S_(8)` (it contains 8 atoms of sulphur). So, the molecular mass of sulphur molecular is `32 xx 8 = 256 u`. This means that 1 mole of sulphur molecules is equal to `256` grams. Now, `256` g of sulphur = 1 mole of sulphur molecules So, 16 g of sulphur ` = 1/256 xx 16` mole of sulphur molecules `= 0.625` mole of sulphur molecules Also, 1 mole of sulphur molecules `= 6.023 xx 10^(23)` molecules So, `0.0625` mole of sulphur molecules `= 6.023 xx 10^(23) xx 0.0625` molecules `= 3.76 xx 10^(22)` molecules |
