The molecular weight of 1 mole of sulfur is 32 amu or grams.
(32.07/80.07)*100 =40.0%
The relative atomic mass of sulfur is 32. And for oxygen, it is 16. Therefore the molecular weight of sulfur dioxide is 64 g/mol.
Sulfur is closely match this puzzle. The density of 2 kg sulfur is double than 1 kg water. So if you weigh the sulfur in immersed state, the weight of sulfur will be 1 kg. Sulfur will displace about 1 kg water and will lose the same weight. After taking out of water, 2 kg sulfur will be 2 kg only. When you burn the sulfur, it will combine with 2 kg oxygen and you will get 4 kg of sulfur bi oxide. So it is fairly close to the answer. 3 kg literally means more than 2 kg. May be you know the better answer.
Sulfur is not used for health.
The molecular weight of 1 mole of sulfur is 32 amu or grams.
Sulfur increase its weight after dry and burnt because it forms chain molecules called gamma sulfur. Gamma sulfur is known as plastic sulfur.
When you burn sulfur, you create sulfur dioxide, which is approximately twice the molar weight of regular sulfur. Wetting sulfur does not decrease it's weight.
After burning sulfur become another compound - sulfur dioxide (SO2), a gas.

The relative atomic mass of sulfur is 32. And for oxygen, it is 16. Therefore the molecular weight of sulfur dioxide is 64 g/mol.
Dehydrated copper sulfate contains approximately 12.8% sulfur by weight.
Ultra low sulfur diesel has a weight of 6.88 pounds per gallon.
Sulfur (32.065)
Interesting question, since sulfur will not dissolve or react with water. But if it did, one gallon of a 1/2% (by weight) solution of "sulfur water" would weigh 8.3817 pounds. (There would be about 2/3rds of an ounce of sulfur "dissolved" in the water.)
The formula for sulfur trioxide is SO3. The molecular weight is 80.06. The atomic weight of sulfur is 32.06. Therefore, the fraction by weight of sulfur in sulfur trioxide is 32.06/80.06 is 0.4004, to the justified number of significant digits, so that 9.96 grams of sulfur trioxide contains 3.988 grams of sulfur. The number of atoms present in 3.988 grams of sulfur therefore is Avogadro's Number X (3.988/80.06) or 3.000 X 1021 atoms, to the justified number of significant digits. (Note: A depressed final digit in a decimal means that the digit may not be significant.)
