In an estimation of sulphur by Carius method 0.20.2 g of the substance gave 0.60.6 g of BaSO4_4. The percentage of sulphur in the substance is _____ %.
(Given molar mass in g mol−1^{-1} S : 3232, BaSO4_4 : 233233)

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Mass of the organic compound, W=0.2W = 0.2 g

Mass of BaSO4\text{BaSO}_4 formed, m=0.6m = 0.6 g

Molar mass of BaSO4=233 g mol−1\text{BaSO}_4 = 233 \text{ g mol}^{-1}

Molar mass of S=32 g mol−1\text{S} = 32 \text{ g mol}^{-1}

The percentage of sulphur in the organic compound is given by the formula:

%S=32233×mW×100\% \text{S} = \dfrac{32}{233} \times \dfrac{m}{W} \times 100

Substituting the given values:

%S=32233×0.60.2×100\% \text{S} = \dfrac{32}{233} \times \dfrac{0.6}{0.2} \times 100

%S=32233×3×100\% \text{S} = \dfrac{32}{233} \times 3 \times 100

%S=9600233≈41.20%\% \text{S} = \dfrac{9600}{233} \approx 41.20\%

Rounding off to the nearest integer, the percentage of sulphur is 4141.

Answer: 4141
