% composition = (mass of element / total mass) * 100
To calculate the total mass, we add the mass of Argon and Sulfur:
total mass = 29.0 g + 4.30 g = 33.3 g
Now, we can calculate the percent composition of each element:
% Argon = (29.0 g / 33.3 g) * 100 = 87.1%
% Sulfur = (4.30 g / 33.3 g) * 100 = 12.9%
Therefore, the percent composition of the compound is 87.1% Argon and 12.9% Sulfur.
