Q 11 :

In an estimation of sulphur by Carius method 0.2 g of the substance gave 0.6 g of BaSO4. The percentage of sulphur in the substance is _______ %.

(Given molar mass in g mol-1 S:32, BaSO4:231)               [2026]



(42)

Number of moles of S in organic compound

=number of moles of BaSO4

=Given mass of BaSO4Molar mass of BaSO4=(0.6231) mol

Mass of sulphur in organic compound

=moles of S×molar mass of S=(0.6231)×32 g

Mass percentage of S in organic compound

=Mass of SMass of organic compound×100

=0.6×32231×0.2×100=41.56%≃42%
