<span> The </span>formula mass<span> is calculated by adding up all the atomic </span>masses <span>for every atom in the </span>formula<span>. First, we need to know the atomic masses of the atoms involved.
H = 1.01 amu
S = 32.06 amu
Formula mass = 2 x </span>1.01 amu + 2 x 32.06 amu = 66.14 formula mass unit
<span>First we can calculate the area of the rectangular lawn using the formula:
Area = Width x Length = 21 ft x 20 ft = 420 square feet
And the total number of snow flakes per minute on the entire lawn is:
(1350 snowflakes per minute per square foot) x (420 square feet) = 567,000 snowflakes per minute
In one hour (or 60 minutes) we get a total of:
(567,000 snowflakes per minute) x (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 34,020,000 snowflakes
The total mass of which would be:
34,020,000 snowflakes x 1.60 mg = 54,432,000 mg = 54.432 kg (as 1 kg = 1,000,000 mg).
So 54.432 kg of snow accumulates every hour on the lawn.</span>
