In the estimation of sulphur by Carius method, 0.468 g of an organic sulphur compound afforded 0.668 g of barium sulphate. Find out the percentage of sulphur in the given compound.
Solution:  
Given : Mass of organic sulphur compound = 0.468 g
Mass of BaSO4 = 0.668 g; 1 mol of BaSO4 = 233 g
233 g of BaSO4 contains 32 g of S
∴ 0.668 g of BaSO4 contains
0.668×32
233
= 0.09174 g
0.09174 g S is present in 0.468 g of the compound.
% of S in compound =
0.09174
0.468
× 100 = 19.6 %
