There is 60.0% oxygen by mass in a compound of sulfur and oxygen. Percent by mass is a ratio of the number of grams of a particular component to 100 g of the total sample. How many grams of sulfur are in a 14.6-g sample of the compound?
Answers 1
Answer: The mass of sulfur in the given amount of sample is 5.84 grams.
The mass of sulfur in the given amount of sample is 5.84 grams.
Explanation:
We are given:
60.0% oxygen by mass in a compound
This means that 60 grams of oxygen are present in 100 grams of a compound
So, mass of sulfur in the compound is 40 grams
Given mass of the compound = 14.6 grams
Applying unitary method:
In 100 grams of a compound, the mass of sulfur is 40 grams
So, in 14.6 grams of a compound , the mass of sulfur will be = 40/100 x 14.6=5.84g
Hence, the mass of sulfur in the given amount of sample is 5.84 grams.
