A student has been given 0.314 g of an organic compound and asked to estimate Sulphur. During the experiment, the student has obtained 0.4813 g of barium sulphate. The percentage of sulphur present in the compound is _ _ _ _ . (Given Molar mass in g mol ⁻¹ ~S : 32, BaSO ₄: 233 )
Options
- A48.24 %
- B63.15 %
- C21.05 %
- D42.10 %
Correct answer
C. 21.05 %
Step-by-step solution
Given: Mass of organic compound = 0.314 g, Mass of BaSO ₄ obtained = 0.4813 g. %S = 32 233 0.4813 0.314 100 = 32 0.4813 100 233 0.314 = 1540.16 73.162 = 21.05 %
