NCERT Exercise

Calculate the number of molecules of sulphur (S8) present in 16 g of solid sulphur.

1 mole of solid sulphur (S8) = 8 × 32 g = 256 g
i.e., 256 g of solid sulphur contains = 6.022 × 1023 molecules
Then, 16 g of solid sulphur contains = 6.022 × 1023 / 256  = 16 molecules
= 3.76375 × 1022 molecules
