Question

Calculate the percentage composition of potassium hydrogen sulphate `(KHSO_(4))`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - `K = 28.68 %, H=0.735 %, S = 23.53 %, O 47.06 %
Molecular mass of `KHSO_(4)=39+1=32+64=136.0u`
Percentage of potassium `= ((39u))/((136u))xx100=28.68%`
Percentage of hydrogen `= ((1u))/((136u))xx100=0.735%`
Percentage of sulphur `= ((32u))/((136u))xx100=23.53%`
Percentage of oxygen `= ((64u))/((136u))xx100=47.06%`.
