Answer 1

Answer:

Amount of copper in 5264 kg compound = 3,498,383 g

Amount of sulfur in 5264 kg compound  = 1,765,616.8 g

Explanation:

Given:

Amount of copper = 88.39 g

Amount of sulfur = 44.61 g

Total quantity = 5264 kg

Find:

Amount of copper in 5264 kg compound = ?

Amount of sulfur in 5264 kg compound  = ?

Computation:

Total amount in compound =  Amount of copper + Amount of sulfur

Total amount in compound =  88.39 g + 44.61 g

Total amount in compound = 133 g

⇒Amount of copper in 5264 kg compound = 5,264 [88.39 / 133]

Amount of copper in 5264 kg compound = 3,498.3831 kg

Amount of copper in 5264 kg compound = 3,498,383 g

⇒Amount of sulfur in 5264 kg compound  = 5,264 [44.61 / 133]

Amount of sulfur in 5264 kg compound  = 1,765.6168 kg

Amount of sulfur in 5264 kg compound  = 1,765,616.8 g
