Chapter 4, Problem 52E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mass percent of ${\text{Tl}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$ in the sample of pesticide is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:The ratio of the mass of a compound in the sample of mixture containing two or more compounds to the total mass of the mixture multiplied by $100$ gives the mass percentage of the compound in the total mixture. The mathematical expression for the mass percent is shown below.

  $\text{Mass}\text{percent}=\frac{\text{Mass of compound}}{\text{Total}\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100$
