Question

What is the average mass of a single sulfur atom in grams?

Answer 1

We are given 1 atom of sulfur; 1 mole of sulfur = 6.023*10^23 atoms of sulfur; moles in 1 atom of sulfur = 1/6.023*10^23 = 1.66*10^-24 mol; The average mass of a single sulfur atom in grams = 32.065g/mol*1.66*10^-24 mol = 5.324*10^-23g
