Activity No. 3 Gravimetric Determination of Sulfur in A Soluble Sulfate

1) The document describes an experiment to determine the percentage of sulfur in a soluble sulfate sample through gravimetric analysis. It involves precipitating the sulfate as barium sulfate and calculating the percentage of sulfur based on the mass of the precipitate. 2) Key results include the constant weights obtained, masses of precipitate formed, and calculated percentage of sulfur in the sample, which had an average of 19.58%. 3) Statistical analysis was performed to determine the mean, median, standard deviation, standard deviation of the mean, relative standard deviation, and reported value for the percentage of sulfur.
