Answer:

There are 2.0 moles of sulphur in 12.04 * 10²³ atoms of the element.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mole of a substance is defined as the amount of a substance which contains as many atoms as there are in 12 g of carbon-12.

12 g of carbon-12 contains the avogadro number of particles which is 6.02 * 10²³. Therefore, one mole of sulphur will contain 6.02 * 10²³ atoms of the element.

The formula that can be used to calculate the number of moles of sulphur in 12.04 * 10²³ is given below;

number of moles = number of particles / 6.02 * 10²³

number of moles of sulphur = 12.04 * 10²³ / 6.02 * 10²³

number of moles = 2.0 moles

Therefore, there are 2.0 moles of sulphur in 12.04 * 10²³ atoms of the element.
