How many atoms and molecules of sulphur are present in 64.0 g of sulphur (S_(8))?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Molecular formula of sulphur = `S_(8)`
`therefore"Molecular mass of sulphur "(S_(8))=32xx8=256.0u`
1 MOLE of sulphur molecules = 256 g = `6.022xx10^(23)` molecules of sulphur
Now, 256 g of sulphur contain `6.022xx10^(23)" molecules"`
`therefore"64 g of sulphur will contain"=(6.022xx10^(23)xx64)/(256)=1.506xx10^(23)" molecules."`
1 molecule of sulphur `(S_(8))` contains 8 ATOMS of sulphur
`therefore 1.506xx10^(23)` molecule of sulphur will contain sulphur atoms = `8xx1.506xx10^(23)=1.2048xx10^(24)` atoms.
