Understanding the Concepts
* Avogadro's Number: 6.02 x 10^23 is Avogadro's number, which 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. Start with the number of atoms: 6.02 x 10^23 sulfur atoms
2. Divide by Avogadro's number to find the number of moles:
(6.02 x 10^23 atoms) / (6.02 x 10^23 atoms/mol) = 1 mole of sulfur
3. Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass to find the mass:
(1 mole) * (32.06 g/mol) = 32.06 grams
Therefore, the mass of 6.02 x 10^23 atoms of sulfur is approximately 32.06 grams.
