Understanding the Concept

* Mole (mol): A unit of measurement for the amount of a substance. One mole contains 6.022 x 10^23 particles (atoms, molecules, etc.). This number is called Avogadro's number.

Calculations

1. Avogadro's Number: We know 1 mole of sulfur contains 6.022 x 10^23 sulfur atoms.

2. Scaling Up: Since we have 3.6 moles of sulfur, we need to multiply the number of atoms in one mole by 3.6.

3. Calculation: (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol) * (3.6 mol) = 2.168 x 10^24 atoms

Answer: There are approximately 2.168 x 10^24 sulfur atoms in 3.6 moles of sulfur.
