Respuesta :

The grams of oxygen present in a sample of this compound that contains 56.00 grams of S = 41.9g of oxygen.

Calculation of quantity of Oxygen

The compound contains the following:

Sulphur = 57.20%

Oxygen = 100 - 57.20 = 42.80%

If 57.20% of the sample contains 56g of Sulphur, then 42.80% of the sample will contain X.
