Question

If there are 3 g of sulfur in each 100 g of crude oil, what is the percent composition in regards to sulfur

Answer 1

Answer:

= 3 %

Explanation:

Percent composition is given by the formula;

= (mass of component/molar mass of compound)× 100%

Therefore in this case;

% composition of sulfur = (mass of sulfur/ mass of crude oil) × 100%

we get;

= (3 g /100 g) × 100%

= 3 %
