Understanding the Formula
* H₂SO₄ represents sulfuric acid.
* The subscript numbers indicate the number of atoms of each element in one molecule:
* 2 hydrogen atoms (H)
* 1 sulfur atom (S)
* 4 oxygen atoms (O)
Calculating Moles
1. Moles of sulfuric acid: You have 5 moles of H₂SO₄.
2. Moles of sulfur per molecule: Each molecule of H₂SO₄ contains 1 sulfur atom.
3. Total moles of sulfur: Since you have 5 moles of H₂SO₄ and each mole contains 1 mole of sulfur, you have a total of 5 moles of sulfur.
Therefore, there are 5 moles of sulfur present in 5 moles of H₂SO₄.
