1) Find the number of molecules in 7.88 g of sulfur

molar mass of S8 = 8*atomic mass of S = 8 * 32.0 g / mol = 256.0 g/mol

Number of moles  = mass in grams / atomic mass = 7.88 g / 256.0 g / mol = 0.0308 moles

2) Find the mass of 0.0308 moles of P4

mass = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of P4 = 4 * atomic mass of P = 4 * 31 g/mol = 124 g/mol

mass of P4 = 0.0308 moles * 124 g/mol = 3.8192g ≈ 3.82 g.

Answer: 3.82 grams of P4 will have the same number of molecules as 7.88 g of S8 (that is 0.0308 moles of molecules)

Arisa [49]
Alkaline earth metals are metals of group two. They are divalent metals and they have a highly negative reduction potential hence the metals are mostly extracted by electrolysis.

They are highly reactive metals. They react with water but do so less readily than alkali earth metals.

Owing to their high reactivity, they are seldom found free in nature. They always occur in combined state with other highly reactive nonmetals.
