What is the atomic mass of sulphur?

Sulfur is a chemical element with symbol S and atomic number 16. It is abundant, multi-valent, and nonmetallic.

“One atom of sulphur has a mass of 32.07amu; one mole of s atoms has a mass of 32.07 g.for compounds,the molecular mass (in amu) is numerically the same as mass of one mole of the compound in grams”.

Atomic Mass of Sulphur is 32.066 amu, having a variance of ± 0.005 u.

The variance in mass is due to the reason that most elements have more than one stable nuclide; for those elements, such an average depends on the mix of nuclides present, which may vary to some limited extent depending on the source of the sample, as each nuclide has a different mass. (However, a typical value can be established( in this case it is 32.066 u) , which is called the standard atomic weight.)

mass of one mole = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms of S = 32.066 g

mass of one atom = 32.066 / 6.02 x 10^23 =5.33 x 10^-23 g

The atomic number of sulphur is 16

and the atomic mass of sulphur is 32.065u . and electron per cell is 2,8,6

Firstly,

Gram Atomic Mass(GAM) of Sulphur= 32gm

So 1 mole of Sulphur atom weighs= 32gm

This implies,

6.022× 10²³ atoms of Sulphur weigh 32 gm

Therefore,

1 atom of Sulphur weighs = 32/ 6.022×10²³

=> 1 atom of sulphur weighs = 5.31× 10^(-23)

Hope this helps!!

Please upvote!!!! It's highly encouraging for me, as this is my first answer in Quora!!!!!

atomic mass of sulphur is 32

it contains 16 neutrons,16 protons and 16 electrons

Atomic Mass of general S= 32.065 u ± 0.005 u

But more precise Atomic Mass can be seen when you’ll go for its isotopes.

I provided the details below-

1 a.m.u = 1.66 x 10^-24 grams

Atomic mass of sulfur = 32 a.m.u

Mass of one atom = 32 x 1.66 x 10^-24 grams

= 53.12 x 10^-24 grams.

There you go! Hope it helps !
