Iron (Fe):
- Molar mass of Fe = 55.845 g/mol
Number of moles in 56g of Fe = 56 g / 55.845 g/mol = 1 mole
Sulfur (S):
- Molar mass of S = 32.066 g/mol
Number of moles in 16g of S = 16 g / 32.066 g/mol = 0.5 moles
Comparing the number of moles:
1 mole of Fe contains 6.022 x 10^23 atoms (Avogadro's number)
0.5 moles of S contains 0.5 x 6.022 x 10^23 atoms = 3.011 x 10^23 atoms
Therefore, 56g of Fe contains more atoms than 16g of S.
