In Carius method, 0.75 g of an organic compound gave 1.2 g of barium sulphate, find percentage of sulphur (molar mass 32text g mol^-1). Molar mass of barium sulphate is 233text g mol^-1.

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula textPercentage of Sulphur = fractextMass of S text in BaSO_4textMolar mass of BaSO_4 times fractextMass of BaSO_4 text formedtextMass of organic compound times 100 ### Core Logic Molar mass of BaSO_4 = 233 g/mol. Mass of Sulfur (S) in 1 mole of BaSO_4 = 32 g. Mass of BaSO_4 formed = 1.2 g. Mass of organic compound = 0.75 g. \% mathrmS = frac32233 times frac1.20.75 times 100 \% mathrmS = frac32 times 1.2 times 100233 times 0.75 = frac3840174.75 approx 21.97\% ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques
