Question

State whether the following statement is True or False.

1 mole of sulphur (S₈) contains 8 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms.

Answer 1

This statement is false.

Explanation:

One mole of sulphur (S) contains 6.022 × 10²³ sulphur atoms, and not 8 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms.

The given number of atoms would be present in 1 mole of S₈ molecules, not in 1 mole of sulphur atoms.
