Understanding the Concept

* Mole: A mole is a unit of measurement for the amount of a substance. It represents 6.022 x 10²³ particles (atoms, molecules, etc.). This number is called Avogadro's number.

Calculation

1. Avogadro's Number: We know that 1 mole of sulfur contains 6.022 x 10²³ sulfur atoms.

2. Scaling Up: To find the number of atoms in 3.1 moles, we multiply:

(3.1 moles) x (6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mole) = 1.87 x 10²⁴ atoms

Answer: There are approximately 1.87 x 10²⁴ sulfur atoms in 3.1 moles of sulfur.
