The mass of sulfur in the sample is 0.31g

To calculate mass of sulfur in sample: given that amount galena is 2.34g and mass of lead is 2.03 g as galena contain both lead and sulfur the mass of sulfur = mass of galena- mass of lead , that is, 2.34- 2.03=0.31g.The molecular mass is a algebraic sum of atomic mass of each element in the compound thus the mass of the compound can be obtained by adding atomic of each element. Lead(II) sulphide occurs naturally as the mineral galena, often known as lead glance (PbS). It is a significant source of silver and the most significant lead ore.
