The mass of oxygen which contains the same number of atoms as those present in 64 grams of sulfur is?

The gram-atomic mass of sulphur is 32 and that of oxygen is 16, to two significant digits. Therefore, the mass of oxygen with the same number of atoms as 64 grams of sulphur can be found from the proportion m/64 = 16/32, or m = 32 grams.


All oxygen atoms have the same mass?

yes.


Why does one mole of carbon atoms have a smaller mass than one mole of sulfur atoms?

For the same reason that one dozen pencils has a smaller mass than one dozen bricks. Each atom of carbon weighs less than each atom of sulfur, and a mole of each has the same number of atoms, so a mole S will weigh more than a mole C.


What mass of oxygen gas contains the same number of moles as 56 gram of Sulphur?

To determine the mass of oxygen gas containing the same number of moles as 56 grams of sulfur, calculate the molar mass of sulfur (32 g/mol) and use it to find the number of moles in 56 grams. Then, since the molar ratio of sulfur to oxygen in a compound is 1:1, this same number of moles of oxygen gas would weigh 32 grams.


Is sulphur and sulfate the same thing?

No, sulfur is an element on the periodic table, while sulfate is a compound that includes sulfur and oxygen atoms. Sulfur is the pure element, while sulfate is a chemical compound containing sulfur and oxygen ions.


Is Sulphur dioxide and sulfur oxide the same?

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a specific compound composed of one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms. Sulfur oxide is a more general term that can refer to a variety of compounds containing sulfur and oxygen, including sulfur dioxide.


Which of these is NOT a diatomic element fluorine sulfur oxygen hydrogen?

Sulfur is NOT a diatomic element. Diatomic elements exist as molecules containing two atoms of the same element bound together, such as fluorine (F2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen (H2). However, sulfur exists as S8 molecules in its elemental form, with eight sulfur atoms bonded together.


How do you balance an equation for sulfur plus oxygen gas yields sulfur dioxide?

To balance the equation for sulfur plus oxygen gas yielding sulfur dioxide, you need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. The balanced equation is: S + O₂ → SO₂. This equation is already balanced, with one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms on each side.


What is the mass of copper if it contains same number of atoms as present in 3.2 grams of sulphur?

To find the mass of copper containing the same number of atoms as in 3.2 grams of sulfur, we first determine the number of moles of sulfur. Sulfur has a molar mass of approximately 32 g/mol, so 3.2 grams corresponds to 0.1 moles of sulfur. Since copper (Cu) has a molar mass of about 63.5 g/mol, the mass of copper that has the same number of moles (0.1 moles) is calculated as 0.1 moles × 63.5 g/mol = 6.35 grams. Therefore, the mass of copper is 6.35 grams.


Which has more matter in it sulfur or copper?

Copper has more matter than sulfur because copper has a higher atomic mass (63.55 g/mol) compared to sulfur (32.06 g/mol). This means that a given mass of copper will contain more atoms and thus more matter compared to the same mass of sulfur.


Are sulfur atoms the same thing as sulfur?

Yes, they are.


Is sulfur trioxide an element compound or mixture?

Sulfur trioxide is a compound, because it always contains sulfur and oxygen in the same proportions to each other and features inter atomic chemical bonds.
