Solution

We know that,

Weigh of 1 mole of an element = Atomic mass of the element

Number of atoms in 1 mole of an element = 6.023 x10 to the power of 23

So, 32 g of S contains 6.023x10 to the power of 23 atoms.

Therefore, 3.2 g of S will contain equals fraction numerator 6.023 cross times 10 to the power of 23 cross times 3.2 over denominator 32 end fraction = 6.023x10 to the power of 22atoms of S.

Now, the weight of 6.023x10 to the power of 23 atoms of Ca is 40 g.

Thus, the weight of 6.023x10 to the power of 22 atoms of Ca will be fraction numerator 6.023 cross times 10 to the power of 22 cross times 40 over denominator 6.023 cross times 10 to the power of 23 end fraction = 4 g.
