Question

what mass of carbon atoms contains the same number of atoms as 32g of sulphur atoms?

thanks =)

Answer 1

well, youd have 12 grams, since that would make 1 mole of each

Answer 2

32g of sulphur is one mole.
One mole of any substance contains 6.022045 x 10^23 mol^-1 atoms - the Avogadro Constant.

so 1 mole(Carbon) = 12g/12(Ar(Carbon))
12 g (Carbon) contains the same number of atoms as 32 g of (S)

Answer 3

Ok, first, what you need to know is:
How many grams are in one mole(unit) of Sulfur?
All this takes is a quick glance at your periodic table- it's the big number underneath the Chemical symbol.
Now, take that number, and divide 32 by it. Take your answer to that, and multiply it by the mass of one mole of carbon, and there you have it!
