Question

If you have 100 grams of S8, how many moles of S8 is that?

Answer 1

1 gram of S8 = 0.003898331514112 moles

Therefore

100g S8 = 0.3898331514112 moles

Answer 2

Answer : There are 0.390 moles in 100 grams of S₈.

Explanation :

The formula to calculate mole is given below.

`Mole = (grams)/(MolarMass)`

The molar mass of S₈ can be calculated as follows.

Molar mass of S₈ = 8 x atomic mass of S

Molar mass of S₈ = 8 x 32.06

Molar mass of S₈ is 256.48 g/mol

We have 100 grams of S₈.

Let us plug in these values in mole formula.

`Mole = (100 grams)/(256.48g/mol)`

Mole = 0.390 mol.

0.390 moles are present in 100 grams of S₈
