Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Avogadro's number is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in one mole of a substance. For sulfur, the atomic mass is given as 32 u. Therefore, the mass of one mole of sulfur is 32 g. Since the molar mass of sulfur contains 6.022 × 10^23 atoms (Avogadro's number), the number of sulfur atoms in 1 mole of sulfur is 6.022 × 10^23. This corresponds to the value given in choice C.
