The discussion centers on the confusion regarding the molar mass of sulfur dioxide (SO2), which is correctly stated as 64.0588 g/mol. Participants highlight a potential error in the text where the number 96 is mentioned, likely referring to the molar mass of sulfate (SO4^2-), which is 96.1 g/mol. This indicates a mix-up between sulfur dioxide and sulfate. Clarification is needed to ensure accurate representation of the compounds. The distinction between these two sulfur compounds is essential for correct calculations and understanding.

Is the final answer given is correct? From where 96 (highlighted) came? Molar mass of $SO_2$ is $64.0588 g \times mol^{-1}$

Looks like a mistake in the text.
We do have that $\ce{SO4^2-}$ has molar mass of $96.1\,\text{g/mol}$, so I think someone mixed up sulfur dioxide and sulfate.
 
Thread 'Erroneously  finding discrepancy in transpose rule'
Obviously, there is something elementary I am missing here. To form the transpose of a matrix, one exchanges rows and columns, so the transpose of a scalar, considered as (or isomorphic to) a one-entry matrix, should stay the same, including if the scalar is a complex number. On the other hand, in the isomorphism between the complex plane and the real plane, a complex number a+bi corresponds to a matrix in the real plane; taking the transpose we get which then corresponds to a-bi...
