  • Calculate the Mass of Sulfur: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * Avogadro's Number: 6.02 x 10^23 is Avogadro's number. It represents the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance.

    * Molar Mass: The molar mass of an element is the mass of one mole of that element. The molar mass of sulfur (S) is approximately 32.06 g/mol.

    Calculation

    1. Convert Atoms to Moles: Divide the number of atoms by Avogadro's number:

    (6.02 x 10^23 atoms S) / (6.02 x 10^23 atoms/mol) = 1 mol S

    2. Calculate Mass: Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of sulfur:

    (1 mol S) * (32.06 g/mol) = 32.06 g

    Answer: The mass of 6.02 x 10^23 atoms of sulfur is approximately 32.06 grams.
