Answer:

Percentage = 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of SO₄ = 2.00 g

Mass of BaSO₄ = 5.00 g

Percentage of SO₄ = ?

Solution:

Percentage of any substance can be calculated by following formula.

Percentage = given amount / total amount × 100

Now we will calculate the percentage of SO₄.

Percentage = 2.00 g / 5.00 × 100

Percentage = 0.4 × 100

Percentage = 40%
