1. Find the atomic masses of each element:
* Sulfur (S): 32.06 g/mol
* Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol
2. Multiply the atomic mass of each element by the number of atoms in the formula:
* Sulfur: 32.06 g/mol * 1 = 32.06 g/mol
* Oxygen: 16.00 g/mol * 2 = 32.00 g/mol
3. Add the masses together to find the molar mass of SO2:
* 32.06 g/mol + 32.00 g/mol = 64.06 g/mol
Therefore, one mole of sulfur dioxide (SO2) has a mass of 64.06 grams.
