a 8.638.63 g sample of calcium sulfide was decomposed into its constituent elements, producing 4.804.80 g of calcium and 3.833.83 g of sulfur. which of the statements are consistent with the law of constant composition (definite proportions)?



Answer :

It is given that,

a 8.638.63g sample was decomposed into its constituents.

It is producing 4.804g calcium and 3.833g of sulfur.

The mass ratio of Ca: s = 4.804/3.833

=1.253

mass of calcium = 40.078

mass of sulfur = 32.068

Total mass of CaS = 72.146 grams

mass percentage of Ca = 40.078/72.146 x 100

=55.56%

mass percentage of S = 32.068/72.146 x 100

=44.44%

Thus, in every sample the mass percentage of calcium plus sulfur in every sample is equal to 100%
