They don't. Sulphur has about twice the Atomic Mass of oxygen.
The idea of atoms explains the conservation of matter. In chemical reactions, the number of atoms stays the same no matter how they are arranged. So, their total mass stays the same.
Isotopes are atoms of a given element that have the same number of protons but a different mass number and therefore a different number of neutrons.
According to John Dalton, all the atoms of a single element will have the same mass. This is the basis for the modern atomic theory.
this phrase refers to the" law of conservation of mass ".this law states that the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of products after reaction has completed .or the total number of atoms taking part in a chemical reaction as reactants is equal to the total number of atoms obtained as products
Dear questioner,As an answer to your question I should mention there are atoms which have the same number of protons but are considered different. These atoms are called Isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but the number of Neutrons are not the same. Isotopes have the same chemical virtues but in the physical virtues related to mass they are a bit different.
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.
yes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, they are.
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.
