In sulphur estimation, \(2.0 \times 10^{-3}\) mol of an organic compound (X) (molar mass \(76\) g mol\(^{-1}\)) gave \(0.4813\) g of barium sulphate (molar mass \(233\) g mol\(^{-1}\)). The percentage of sulphur in the compound (X) is ______ \(\times 10^{-1}\) % (Nearest integer)

  1. A 431
  2. B 432
  3. C 433
  4. D 435
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 435

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of the organic compound (X) can be calculated as: \(\text{Mass of X} = \text{Moles} \times \text{Molar mass}\) \(\text{Mass of X} = 2.0 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol} \times 76 \text{ g mol}^{-1} = 0.152 \text{ g}\) In the Carius method for sulphur estimation, the mass of…
