Mariela Vaughn · Answer 1

Sulfur is a chemical element with symbol S and atomic number 16 But no matter what the element or compound is there are always Avogadro number of atoms in one mole So for 3.5 mol Number of atoms = Avogadro number * 3.5 Number of atoms = 3.5 x (6.022 x 10^23) Number of atoms=2.1 x 10^24

Elemental sulfur has a many allotropic modifications.

1) If we use formula S, answer is:

N (S) = n (S) · Na.

N (S) = 3,5 mol · 6·10²³ 1/mol.

N (S) = 2,1·10²⁴ sulfur atoms.

2) If we use formula S₈, answer is:

N (S) = 8 · n (S₈) · Na.

N (S) = 8 · 3,5 mol · 6·10²³ 1/mol.

N (S) = 1,68·10²⁵ sulfur atoms.

Na - Avogadro number.
