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

    Understanding the Concept

    * 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 32.06 g/mol.

    Calculation

    1. Convert atoms to moles: Since 6.02 x 10^23 atoms represent one mole, we have 1 mole of sulfur.

    2. Use molar mass to find grams:

    * 1 mole of sulfur has a mass of 32.06 grams.

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