Answer:
5.88%
Explanation:
percent composition depends on relative atomic mass.
the percentage of component present in a compound is
(relative formula mass of component
÷
relative formula mass of compound)
⋅
100
%
the relative atomic mass of
H
(hydrogen) is
1
the relative formula mass of
H2 is 2
the relative atomic mass of S (sulphur) is 32.
2+32=34 the compound H2S is known as hydrogen sulphide.
relative formula mass of
H2÷relative formula mass of (H2S)⋅100%=2/34⋅100%=5.88% (2d.p.)
