Calculate the mass percent composition of sulfur in Al2(SO4)3. Calculate the mass percent composition of sulfur in Al2(SO4)3. 28.12 % 42.73 % 35.97 % 9.372 % 21.38 %

The mass percent of sulfur is 28.12% (option 1)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Atomic mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol

Atomic mass of S = 32.065 g/mol

Atomic mass of O = 16.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the molar mass of Al2(SO4)3

In 1 molecule Al2(SO4)3 we have 2 Aluminium atom, 3 Sulfur atoms and 12 oxygen atoms

Molar mass of Al2(SO4)3 = 2*26.98 + 3*32.065 + 12*16 .0

Molar mass of Al2(SO4)3 = 342.155 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass percent of sulfur

In 1 molecule Al2(SO4)3 we have 2 Aluminium atom, 3 Sulfur atoms and 12 oxygen atoms

Mass % sulfur = (3*atomic mass of S/ molar mass of Al2(SO4)3) * 100 %

Mass % sulfur = (3*32.065 / 342.155) * 100%

Mass % sulfur = 28.12 %

The mass percent of sulfur is 28.12% (option 1)
