`("atomic weight of" S=32 "amu")`

A

200

B

400

C

800

D

600

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Minimum molecular mass is obtained when it is supposed that one molecule of the compound contains only one atom of the given element under investigation.
`therefore` Min .mol.mass
`= 100xx At. ("Mass of element under investigation ")/("% of the element ")`
`=(100xx32 ) /(4)=800`
