The mass of sulfur in a sample of CaSO4 with a mass of 65.8 g is 15.50g.

<h3>How to calculate mass of an element in a compound?</h3>

According to this question, a 10.4 g sample of CaSO4 is found to contain 3.06 g of Ca and 4.89 g of O.

This means that the mass of sulfur in the 10.4g of CaSO4 is 10.4g - (3.06g + 4.89g) = 10.4g - 7.95g = 2.45g

Next, we calculate the percent ratio of each element in the compound; CaSO4.

  • Ca = 3.06g/10.4g × 100 = 29.42%
  • S = 2.45g/10.4g × 100 = 23.56%
  • O = 4.89g/10.4g × 100 = 47.02%

According to this question, a sample of CaSO4 with a mass of 65.8 g is given. The mass of each element in this compound is as follows:

  • Ca = 29.42/100 × 65.8g = 19.36g
  • S = 23.56/100 × 65.8g = 15.50g
  • O = 47.02/100 × 65.8g = 30.94g

Therefore, the mass of sulfur in a sample of CaSO4 with a mass of 65.8 g is 15.50g.

What happens when energy is added to each state?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

One change of state happens when you add energy to the substance. This change of state is called melting. By adding energy to the molecules in a solid the molecules begin to move quicker and can break away from the other molecules. ... The temperature at which a substance goes from a solid to a liquid is it melting point.

Webb has calculated the percent composition of a compound. How can he check his result?
fenix001 [56]
Webb has calculated the percent composition of a compound. He can check his result by adding them to see if they equal up to 100. Why? Well, percent composition tells the quantity of elements with 100 as a base of total amount. This means that it will have to add to 100 to check the result. You would add up all of the values of percent composition of elements to see if they equal 100, and if they do, the results are accurate.

Your final answer: Webb can check his result by seeing if they add up to 100, considering that is the base total quantity.
