Sulfur is an element in the periodic table that has a chemical symbol of S. This element is the 16th element in periodic table. This means that the atomic number or number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to 16.
The number following the name of the element is the mass number. The following are the complete symbol that are arranged as follows:
chemical symbol - atomic number - mass number
*Sulfur-32
S - 16 - 32
*Sulfur-33
S - 16 - 33
*Sulfur-34
S - 16 - 34
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. This implies that in a chemical reaction, we can only have the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation.
If we write 4Fe2S3 it means that we have;
4 * 2 = 8 atoms of Fe
4 * 3 = 12 atoms of S
8 + 12 = 20 atoms in all
In a solution of KBr and water; KBr is the solute and water is the solvent;
Therefore; to achieve 3% by mass; it means we are going to have 3% of the mass being the solute and the other 97 % being the solvent.
Thus; KBr (solute) = 3/100 × 300 (total mass) = 9 g
Hence; the appropriate masses will be; 9.00 g of KBr and 291 g of water.
