Question 611 Mark
Calculate: The number of moles of Sulphur ($S _8$) present in 16g of solid sulphur.
Answer
Step 1: Calculate the number of moles.
- The number of moles can be calculated by using the formula:

Number of moles $=\frac{\text { Given mass }}{\text { Molar mass }}$
- According to the question, the given mass is $16 g$ and the molecular mass can be calculated as:

Molecular mass of $S _8=32 \times 8=256 g mol ^{-1}$
- Thus, the number of moles of $S _8$ are $\frac{16 g }{256 g mol ^{-1}}=0.0625$ moles

Step 2: Calculate the number of molecules.
- We know that one mole of any substance contains $6.023 \times 10^{23}$ molecules Thus, the number of molecules in any material may be calculated by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number, which is $6.023 \times 10^{23}$.
- We can state:
Number of molecules $=$ number of moles $\times 6.023 \times 10^{23}$
- Thus, the number of molecules in $16 g$ of $S_8$ are $=0.0625 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}=3.764 \times 10^{22}$

So, the number of molecules in $16 g$ of $S_8$ are $3.764 \times 10^{22}$

Question 621 Mark
Write the chemical formula using criss-cross method: Magnesium bicarbonate.
Answer
The Criss cross method is shown below: The atomic number of magnesium is $12,$ and the valency of magnesium is two, while the valency of bicarbonate is one. To satisfy the valency of the magnesium atom, it requires two bicarbonates. Therefore, the correct formula of magnesium bicarbonate is $M g ( H C O _3 ) _2 .$
