Best Answer

Mass of solid = 16g

Molecular mass of sulphur S8 = 256 amu

no of moles=mass of substance/molecular mass

=16/256

=1/16

no of moles=no of particles/avogadro constant

1/16=N/6.022 x 10^23

=3.76 x 10^22

How many ATOMS of sulfur are present in 9.96 grams of sulfur trioxide?

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.)
