Answer:

26.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Molar Mass of MgSO4 = 120g/mol

MgSO4 contain 1 mole of sulphur.

Molar Mass of sulphur (S) = 32g/mol

The percentage composition by mass of sulphur in MgSO4 is given by:

= Mass of S/ Molar Mass of MgSO4 x100

= 32/120 x 100

= 26.7%

Therefore, the percentage by mass of sulphur in MgSO4 is 26.7%
