How many atoms and molecules of sulphur are present in 64.0 g of sulphur `(S_(8))`?

Explanation

To find the number of atoms and molecules of sulfur in 64.0 g of sulfur (S₈), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of sulfur (S₈)
The molecular formula for sulfur is S₈, which means one molecule of sulfur contains 8 sulfur atoms. The atomic mass of sulfur (S) is approximately 32 g/mol. Therefore, the molar mass of S₈ can be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Molar mass of } S₈ = 8 \times \text{Atomic mass of S} = 8 \times 32 \, \text{g/mol} = 256 \, \text{g/mol} \]
