Question

How many grams of sulfur are in 3.54 g of H2S?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.329 g

Explanation:

First you need to determine the molar mass of H2S which is 34.1 g/mol.

With that we know that to find the moles of H2S we just divide the mass of sample with the molar mass.

3.54 g / 34.1 g/mol = 0.103812317  mol of H2S

This means that there is also 0.103812317  mol of sulfur since there is 1 mole of sulfur per 1 mole of H2S.

The molar mass of sulfur is 32.065 g/mol and to find the mass of sulfur you need to multiply the molar mass with the moles of the compound.  

0.103812317  mol * 32.065 g/mol = 3.329 g of sulfur

Let me know if you get something else or if something is unclear in the comments so that we can figure it out.
