  • Calculating Atoms in 64 Grams of Sulfur: A Step-by-Step Guide
    The number of atoms in 64 grams of sulfur can be calculated using the atomic mass of sulfur and Avogadro's number.

    - 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.
