1. Identify the atomic masses of the elements:
* Carbon (C): 12.011 amu
* Sulfur (S): 32.065 amu
2. Multiply the atomic mass of each element by its subscript in the formula:
* Carbon (C): 12.011 amu/atom * 3 atoms = 36.033 amu
* Sulfur (S): 32.065 amu/atom * 2 atoms = 64.130 amu
3. Add the results from step 2 to find the formula mass:
* Formula mass of C3S2 = 36.033 amu + 64.130 amu = 100.163 amu
Therefore, the formula mass of C3S2 is 100.163 amu.
