Question

How many grams would 1.00 billion atoms of sulfur weigh

Answer 1

Answer:

$m_S=5.31x10^{-14}gS$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing that we have 1 billion ( 1,000,000,000) of atoms of sulfur, via the Avogadro's number we can firstly compute the moles:

$n_S=1,000,000,000atoms*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}atoms}\\\\ n_S=1.66x10^{-15}molS$

Then, by using the atomic mass of sulfur (32 g/mol), we can finally compute the mass:

$m_S=1.66x10^{-15}molS*\frac{32gS}{1molS}\\ \\m_S=5.31x10^{-14}gS$

Best regards.
