|
1 gram of sulfur
|
|
|
1 molecule of sulfur
|
|
|
0.5 mole of sulfur
|
|
|
6.02 x 1023 atoms of sulfur
|
Detailed explanation-1: -However, other elements have different molar masses; for example, 6.02 x 1023 sulfur atoms have a mass together of 32.06 grams, which is sulfur’s molar mass.
Detailed explanation-2: -This means that 6.022x1023 carbon atoms (or molecules) weights 12.01 grams. Read more about the mole here or at hyperphysics.
Detailed explanation-3: -32 grams of sulfur will contain 6.022 X 1023 sulfur atoms. To find this answer, we begin by converting the sample size of 32 grams to moles. The molar mass of sulfur is 32.06 grams but the most abundant sulfur atom on Earth is the sulfur-32 isotope so we can safely say the molar mass is 32 grams.
Detailed explanation-4: -A neutron has a slightly larger mass than the proton. These are often given in terms of the atomic mass unit, where one atomic mass unit is defined as the 1/12th the mass of the carbon-12 atom. Hence, neutrons have the greatest mass.
