Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Avogadro's number tells us the number of formula units or atoms in 1 mole of a substance. For sulfur, Avogadro's number is 6 × 10^23 formula units/mole. Since sulfur has an atomic mass of 32 u, 1 mole of sulfur has a mass of 32 g and contains Avogadro's number of sulfur atoms, which is 6 × 10^23. Therefore, the answer is choice C.

Sulfur Has an Atomic Mass of 32 U and Avogadro's
