Answer:

I guess your answer would be A even thought it is not actually correct it is the closest to being correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The molar mass of Al2(SO4)3 is 342.15 g/mol. This means that 1 mole of Al2(SO4)3 has a mass of 342.15 g.To find the mass of sulfur in 2.0 moles of Al2(SO4)3, we first need to determine the number of moles of sulfur in 1 mole of Al2(SO4)3. There are 3 moles of sulfur in 1 mole of Al2(SO4)3, so there are 6 moles of sulfur in 2 moles of Al2(SO4)3.To find the mass of sulfur in 2.0 moles of Al2(SO4)3, we can use the following calculation:Mass of sulfur = (moles of sulfur) x (molar mass of sulfur)

Mass of sulfur = 6 mol x 32.06 g/mol

Mass of sulfur = 192.36 gTherefore, the mass of sulfur in 2.0 moles of Al2(SO4)3 is 192.36 grams.
