Oxygen forms a number of compounds with sulfur, many of which are quite reactive. one such compound is 57.20 % by mass s . calculate the number of grams of oxygen present in a sample of this compound that contains 50.00 grams of s .

37.41 grams of oxygen present in a sample of this compound that contains 50.00 grams of S.

Explanation:

Mass of Sulfur present in the sample = 50.00 g

Mass of oxygen present in the sample = m

Total mass of the sample of the compound =  = 50.00 g + m

Percentage of sulfur by mass in the compound = 57.20%

m = 37.41 g

37.41 grams of oxygen present in a sample of this compound that contains 50.00 grams of S.
