mols S = grams/atomic mass = 3.66/32 = 0.114
Convert mols S to mols O2. Using the coefficients in the balanced equation that's 0.114 mols S x (3 mol O2/2 mols S) = 0.l72 mols O2.
You know there are 6.02E23 molecules in 1 mol O2 so how many molecules O2 are in 0.172 mols O2?
Post your work if you get stuck.
