In sulphur estimation, 2.0 × 10^ -3 mol of an organic compound (X)...

In sulphur estimation, 2.0×10−32.0 \times 10^{-3} mol of an organic compound (X) (molar mass 7676 g mol−1^{-1}) gave 0.48130.4813 g of barium sulphate (molar mass 233233 g mol−1^{-1}). The percentage of sulphur in the compound (X) is ______ ×10−1\times 10^{-1} % (Nearest integer)

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Mass of the organic compound (X) can be calculated as:

Mass of X=Moles×Molar mass\text{Mass of X} = \text{Moles} \times \text{Molar mass}

Mass of X=2.0×10−3 mol×76 g mol−1=0.152 g\text{Mass of X} = 2.0 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol} \times 76 \text{ g mol}^{-1} = 0.152 \text{ g}

In the Carius method for sulphur estimation, the mass of sulphur in the given mass of BaSO4\text{BaSO}_4 is:

Mass of S=32233×Mass of BaSO4\text{Mass of S} = \dfrac{32}{233} \times \text{Mass of BaSO}_4

Mass of S=32233×0.4813 g≈0.0661 g\text{Mass of S} = \dfrac{32}{233} \times 0.4813 \text{ g} \approx 0.0661 \text{ g}

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

% of S=Mass of SMass of X×100\text{\% of S} = \dfrac{\text{Mass of S}}{\text{Mass of X}} \times 100

% of S=0.06610.152×100≈43.487 %\text{\% of S} = \dfrac{0.0661}{0.152} \times 100 \approx 43.487 \text{ \%}

To express this in the requested format:

43.487 %=434.87×10−1 %43.487 \text{ \%} = 434.87 \times 10^{-1} \text{ \%}

Rounding to the nearest integer, we get 435435.

Answer: 435435
