Answer:
10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total weight of gunpowder = 36 kg
CONTENTS OF THE GUNPOWDER;
1) Nitre = 27 kg
2) Charcol = 5.4 kg
3) Sulphur = ?? (rest)
To find the amount of sulphur(S) in the gunpowder;
(27+5.4+S)kg = 36 kg
(32.4+S)kg=36 kg
S = (36-32.4) kg
S = 3.6 kg
Finding the percentage content of sulphur in the gunpowder;
(Amount of sulphur / Total amount of gunpowder) * 100%
(3.6/36) * 100%
0.1 * 100%
Percentage content of Sulphur = 10%
