Answer : The percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.
Explanation :
To calculate the percentage composition of element in sample, we use the equation:
Given:
Mass of carbon = 1.94 g
Mass of hydrogen = 0.48 g
Mass of sulfur = 2.58 g
First we have to calculate the mass of sample.
Mass of sample = Mass of carbon + Mass of hydrogen + Mass of sulfur
Mass of sample = 1.94 + 0.48 + 2.58 = 5.0 g
Now we have to calculate the percentage composition of a compound.
Hence, the percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.
