Question

If a volcano erupts and ejects 12.5 moles of sulfur into the atmosphere how many atoms of sulfur is this

Answer 1

In this question, we have to find the number of atoms in 12.5 moles of Sulfur, and the way to do it is by using the Avogadro's number, which is 6.02*10^23 atoms, this value represents how many atoms we have in 1 single mol of any element. Therefore in 12.5 moles we will have:

1 mol = 6.02*10^23 atoms

12.5 moles = x atoms

x = 7.52*10^24 atoms of Sulfur in 12.5 moles
