Galena is the common name of a lead and sulfur mineral. 4.68 grams of galena contains 4.03 grams of lead. Calculate the mass % and mass fraction of both lead and sulfur in galena
mass of galena PbS = 4.68g
mass of lead Pb = 4.03g
mass of sulfur S = mass of PbS - mass of Pb
= 4.68-4.03 = 0.65 g
mass percentage of Pb in galena = 4.03*100/4.68 = 86%
mass percentage of S in galena = 0.65*100/4.68 = 14%
