Oxygen forms a number of compounds with sulfur, many of which are quite reactive. one such compound is 57.20 % by mass s . calculate the number of grams of oxygen present in a sample of this compound that contains 50.00 grams of s .

37.41 grams of oxygen present in a sample of this compound that contains 50.00 grams of S.

Explanation:

Mass of Sulfur present in the sample = 50.00 g

Mass of oxygen present in the sample = m

Total mass of the sample of the compound =  = 50.00 g + m

Percentage of sulfur by mass in the compound = 57.20%

m = 37.41 g

37.41 grams of oxygen present in a sample of this compound that contains 50.00 grams of S.

radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold

the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.

increased stability in the completion of fluorine's outer shell.
