Answer 1

Given :

Compared with a mole of oxygen-16, a mole of sulfur-32 contains:

A. twice as many atoms .

B. half as many atoms .

C. an equal number of atoms .

D. 8 times as many atoms .

To Find :

The correct option .

Solution :

One mole of atoms of oxygen-16 has a mass of 16 g, as 16 is the atomic weight of oxygen, and contains $6.02\times 10^{23}$ atoms of oxygen.

Same, one mole of sulfur-32 has 32 g mass , and contains same $6.02\times 10^{23}$ atoms of sulfur .

So , both have equal number of atoms .

Therefore , option C. is correct .

Hence , this is the required solution .
