- Atomic mass of sulfur (S) = 32.066 g/mol
- Avogadro's number = 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol
1. Convert the given mass of sulfur (64 g) to moles using the atomic mass:
- Moles of sulfur (S) = 64 g / 32.066 g/mol = 2 mol S
2. Use Avogadro's number to determine the number of atoms:
- Number of atoms (S) = 2 mol S x 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol = 1.2044 x 10^24 atoms
Therefore, there are approximately 1.2044 x 10^24 atoms in 64 grams of sulfur.
