EQUATION FOR % MASS:
(ELEMENT MASS IN A SAMPLE / SAMPLE MASS) x 100 = (MASS OF ELEMENT IN A MOLECULE / MASS OF MOLECULE) x 100

RAM of oxygen = 16
RAM of sulphur = 32

Sulphur dioxide has ONE sulphur atom and TWO oxygen atoms. So the mass of oxygen in one molecule:
16 x 2 = 32 Amu
Whilst the mass of SO2 is:
1 x 32 = 32 amu

Mass of molecule (relative molecular mass) = sum of atomic masses = 32 amu of oxygen + 32 amu of sulphur equals to 64 AMU (32 O + 32 S= 64 Amu)

Use the formula, we will substitute with values now:
% Mass of O = (32/64) x 100 = 50%
% Mass of S = (32/64) x 100 = 50%

Balance the following equation in acidic conditions Phases are optional. S2O3 2- + Cu 2+ ---> S4O6 2- + Cu+
jonny [76]

To balance the the chemical reaction, the number of moles per element is balance is both side of the reaction and also the charge in both sides of the reation. to balnce the reaction:

S2O3 2- + Cu 2+ ---> S4O6 2- + Cu+

2S2O3 2- + Cu 2+ ---> S4O6 2- + Cu+ + e
