Question
Calculate the number of molecules of sulphur (S8) present in 16 g of solid sulphur.
Advertisements
Solution
1 mole of solid sulphur (S8) = 8 × 32 g = 256 g
i.e., 256 g of solid sulphur contains = 6.022 × 1023 molecules
`"Then, 16 g of solid sulphur contains "=(6.022xx10^(23))/256xx16" molecules"`
= 3.76 × 1022 molecules (approx)

In what form does oxygen gas occur in nature ?
One of the forms of a naturally occurring solid compound P is usually used for making the floors of houses. On adding a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid to P, brisk effervescence are produced. When 50 g of reactant P was heated strongly, than 22 g of a gas Q and 28 g of a solid R were produced as products. Gas Q is the same which produced brisk effervescence on adding dilute HCl to P. Gas Q is said to cause global warming whereas solid R is used for white-washing.
