In the sulphur estimation, \(0.471\, \mathrm{~g}\) of an organic compound gave \(1.44\, \mathrm{~g}\) of barium sulphate. The percentage of sulphur in the compound is \(......\%\). (Nearest integer) (Atomic Mass of \(\mathrm{Ba}=137 \,\mathrm{u})\)

  1. A \(142\)
  2. B \(42\)
  3. C \(471\)
  4. D \(233\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(42\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molecular mass of \(\mathrm{BaSO}_{4}=233 \,\mathrm{~g}\) \(\because 233 \,g\,\mathrm{BaSO}_{4}\) contain \(\rightarrow 32\, \mathrm{~g}\) sulphur \(\therefore 1.44\, \mathrm{~g} \,\mathrm{BaSO}_{4}\) contain \(\rightarrow \frac{32}{233} \times 1.44\, \mathrm{~g}\) sulphur given…
