<span>Well it depends on percentage by what, but I'll just assume that it's percentage by mass. For this, we look at the atomic masses of the elements present in the compound. Cu has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu Fe has 55.845 amu and S has 36.065 amu Since there are 2 molecules of Sulfur for each one of Cu and Fe, we'll multiply the Sulfur atomic weight by 2 to obtain 72.13 amu So we have not established the mass of the compound in amus 63.546 + 55.845 + 72.13 = 191.521 That is the atomic mass of Chalcopyrite. and Iron's atomic mass is 55.845 So to get the percentage, or fraction of iron, we take 55.845 / 191.521 Which comes out to 29.15% by mass Mass of the sample is not needed for this calculation, but since the question mentions it I would go ahead and check if the question isn't also asking for the mass of Iron in the sample as well, in which case you just find the 29.15% of 67.7g</span>
