Question

How many grams of sulfur is there in 10.8 grams of sodium sulfate?please help ​

Answer 1

Answer:

2.44 g S

Explanation:

One mole of Na2SO4 contains 1 mol of S.

Step 1: Find out the moles of Na2SO4:

10.8 g Na2SO4/MM Na2SO4

Step2: Find out the moles of S:

moles S = moles Na2SO4

Step 3: Find out the mass of S.

mass S = moles S x MM S

Dimensional analysis:

? g S = 10.8 g Na2SO4 x (1mol Na2SO4/MM Na2SO4) x (1mol S/1mol Na2SO4) x (MM S/ 1 mol S) = (10.8/142.04)x32.1 = 2.44 g S
