Answer:

19.8 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis of a 1.7500-g sample of

Pepto-Bismol yields 346 mg of bismuth. What percent by

mass is bismuth subsalicylate in the sample? (Assume that

there are no other bismuth-containing compounds in

Pepto-Bismol.)

346 mg = 0.346 gm

0.346 gm/1.75 gm =0.198 = 19.8 %
