Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 41

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of the organic compound, \(W = 0.2\) g Mass of \(\text{BaSO}_4\) formed, \(m = 0.6\) g Molar mass of \(\text{BaSO}_4 = 233 \text{ g mol}^{-1}\) Molar mass of \(\text{S} = 32 \text{ g mol}^{-1}\) The percentage of sulphur in the organic compound is given by the formula:…
