What is the mass in grams of 1 atom of sulfur (atomic mass = 32.066)? A) 1.661 × 10^-24 g B) 1.931 × 10^-25 g C) 5.325 × 10^-23 g D) 5.179 × 10^-26 g E) 5.989 × 10^-23 g

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mass of one atom of sulfur is equal to its atomic mass, which is 32.066 g/mol. To convert to grams per atom, we divide by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol).

Mass per atom = 32.066 g/mol / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol
Mass per atom = 5.325 x 10^-23 g/atom

Therefore, the answer is choice C.
