SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the number of atoms in 3.90 moles of sulfur (S) using Avogadro's number, which is 6.022 x 1023 atoms per mole. To find the total number of atoms, one must multiply the number of moles (3.90) by Avogadro's number. The calculation yields approximately 2.35 x 1024 atoms of sulfur. Understanding the relationship between moles and Avogadro's number is crucial for accurate atomic calculations.
