Question

Calculate the molar mass of the sulfur molecule, ${\mathrm{S}}_8$.

Answer 1

• The molar mass of the substance can be calculated by the sum of all the atoms that constitute the compound.
• We know, that the atomic weight of Sulfur,${\mathrm{S}}_{}$=$32$
• Sulfur atoms are an example of polyatomic molecules, eight Sulfur atoms constitute a Sulfur molecule ${\mathrm{S}}_8$
• The molar mass of Sulfur= $8\times 32$
• Therefore, the molar mass of Sulfur= $256g$
