How 64.058 g/mol is worked out
| Element | Atoms | Atomic mass | Mass | % of total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sulfur | 1 | 32.06 | 32.060 | 50.05% |
| Oxygen | 2 | 15.999 | 31.998 | 49.95% |
| Total | 3 | 64.058 | 100% |
M = 1 × 32.060 + 2 × 15.999 = 64.058 g/mol

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Sulfur dioxide?
The molar mass of Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is 64.058 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 3 atoms in one formula unit: 1 × 32.060 + 2 × 15.999 = 64.058.
What is the molecular weight of Sulfur dioxide?
64.058 — the same number as the molar mass, but as a dimensionless ratio rather than in g/mol. The two terms describe the same arithmetic, so a molecular weight of 64.06 and a molar mass of 64.06 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Sulfur dioxide?
100 ÷ 64.058 = 1.5611 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Sulfur dioxide?
By mass, Sulfur dioxide is 50.05% sulfur, 49.95% oxygen. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 64.058.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Sulfur dioxide?
3: 1 sulfur, 2 oxygen. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Sulfur dioxide contains 3 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
