If one gram of sulphur contains x atoms, calculate the no. of atoms in 1 gram of oxygen element?
1 mole of sulphur = Gram atomic mass of carbon = 32 g
Now, 32 g of sulphur = 1 mole
1 mole of sulphur = 1/32 mole
Thus, 1/32 mole of sulphur element contains x atoms.
So, 1/32 moles of oxygens will also contain x atoms.
1 mole of oxygen = 16 g
Now, 16 g of oxygen = 1 mole
1 g of oxygen = 1/16 mole
1/32 mole of oxygen contains = x atoms
1/16 mole of oxygen contains = x*32/16 atoms
= 2x atoms.
