Question

How many atoms are in 200.0 grams of Sulfur (S)?

Answer 1

37.64 × 10²³ atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms = ?

Mass of sulfur = 200.0 g

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles of sulfur.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 200.0 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 6.25 mol

Number of atoms:

Avogadro number:

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

6.25 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms / 1mol

37.64 × 10²³ atoms
