One mole of any substance contains approximately 6.022\u00d710236.022 \\times 10^{23} entities, such as atoms or molecules, which is known as Avogadro&#8217;s number. Therefore, one mole of SO\u2082 contains 6.022\u00d710236.022 \\times 10^{23} SO\u2082 molecules, and the total mass of these molecules is 64.06 grams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the mass in grams of one mole of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)?
