Answer:

The reciprocal of the molar mass of sulfur

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of grams = n

Mass of Sulphur, m = 30 kg

Molar mass of Sulphur, M = 32.1 g

The formula used :

n = m / M

Converting m in kg to gram

1000g = 1kg

(1000/kg) ÷ 32

To change the ÷ sign to *, we multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor

The divisor is the molar. Mass of Sulphur

Hence, we have ;

30*(1000g/kg) * (1/32.1)
