You have two beakers on your lab table. Beaker #1 contains

You have two beakers on your lab table. Beaker #1 contains 32.07 g of sulfur and Beaker #2 contains 74.92 g of arsenic (As). Which beaker contains the greatest number of atoms? Choose the best answer. Beaker #1 because one sulfur atom weighs less than one arsenic atom so you need more of the sulfur atoms to fill the beaker. Beaker #1 because it contains more moles of sulfur atoms than the number of moles of arsenic atoms in Beaker #2. Beaker #2 because arsenic has a greater mass than sulfur. Beaker #2 because it contains more moles of arsenic atoms than the number of moles of sulfur atoms in Beaker #1. Beakers #1 and #2 contain the same number of atoms because there is one mole in each.
