    Question: Sulphur content (%) in potassium sulphate is

    Options:

    50
    22
    17
    12

    ✅Explanation:
    -The chemical formula of potassium sulfate is K₂SO₄.

    ✏️To calculate the percentage of sulfur, we need the molar masses:
    -K (Potassium) = 39.1 g/mol
    -S (Sulfur) = 32.1 g/mol
    -O (Oxygen) = 16 g/mol
    -Molar mass of K₂SO₄ = (2 x 39.1) + 32.1 + (4 x 16) = 174.3 g/mol
    -Percentage of Sulfur = (Molar mass of Sulfur / Molar mass of K₂SO₄) x 100
    -Percentage of Sulfur = (32.1 / 174.3) x 100 ≈ 18.4% which is closest to option C (17%).
