two samples contain sulfur and oxygen in the amounts shown in the data table. what is the total mass of compound a? sample total mass (g) mass s (g) mass o (g) a ? 32.0 48.0 b 60.0 30.0 30.0
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate total mass of compound A
Total mass of a compound is sum of masses of its components.
$$\text{Total mass of A}=\text{Mass of S}+\text{Mass of O}$$
## Step2: Substitute values
Substitute Mass of \(S = 32.0\space g\) and Mass of \(O=48.0\space g\)
$$\text{Total mass of A}=32.0 + 48.0$$
## Step3: Perform addition
$$32.0+48.0 = 80.0$$
# Answer:
\(80.0\space g\)
