Answer:

%
S=66.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Sulfur monoxide, SO, has a molecular mass of 48g/mol (32g/mol for S and 16g/mol for O), thus, the present sulfur percent is given by the following equation as long as there's only one sulfur in the formula:

%
S=(1*32)/(48)*100%

%
S=66.7%

Best regards.
