Final answer:
Using Avogadro's number and the molar mass of CS₂, it was determined that 4.30 grams of carbon disulfide contain approximately 6.81 × 10²² atoms of sulfur, which does not match any of the provided options.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many atoms of sulfur (S) are in 4.30 grams of carbon disulfide (CS₂), we can use Avogadro's number and the molar mass of CS₂. The molar mass of CS₂ is approximately 76.14 g/mol (12.01 g/mol for carbon + 2 × 32.07 g/mol for sulfur). First, we find the number of moles of CS₂ in 4.30 grams:
Number of moles of CS₂ = 4.30 g ÷ 76.14 g/mol = 0.0565 mol
Since each molecule of CS₂ contains two atoms of sulfur, the total number of sulfur atoms in 0.0565 moles of CS₂ is:
Total S atoms = 0.0565 mol × 2 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol = 6.81 × 10²² atoms of S
This amount does not correspond with any of the given options (a, b, c, d). Therefore, we will not select any answer from the given options in this scenario.
