Question

Problem 14P

A compound of copper and sulfur contains 88.39 g of metal and 44.61 g of nonmetal. How many grams of copper are in 5264 kg of compound? How many grams of sulfur?

Solution

Solution 14P

Here, we have to calculate the grams of copper and sulfur in the given weight of compound.

Step 1 of 4

Given

Weight of metal (Copper) - 88.39 g

Weight of non metal(Sulfur)  - 44.61 g

Sample compound weight - 5264 kg

First, let’s write the equality and conversion factors for kg to g

1 kg = 1000g and 1000g = 1kg

So, the conversion factors are  and 

Mass of the compound (g) = Mass of the compound (kg) x Conversion factor

                                           

                                           = 5264 kg

                                           = 5264 x 103g.
