Calculate value of sulfur species for given density


Elemental sulphur occurs in the solid state as 8-membered rings arranged in rhombohedral crystal structure (S8) which melts at 388 K. It is not apparent however, that sulphur in the gas phase is present as S8 molecules. In an evacuated and closed vessel, S8 was heated until the pressure reached 46.06 Torr at a temperature of 347.0 °C. The density of the gas phase at that point was found to be 0.1528 g L-1. Assuming the gas phase is ideal and composed only of a sulfur species (Sn), calculate a value for n?
