Answer

See answer below.

Work Step by Step

a) Molecular formula: $C_7H_5NO_3S$ Structural formula: $\begin{smallmatrix} & & & & & & O & & & & \\ & & & & & & || & & & & \\ & & C & & & & C & & & & \\ & /& & \backslash\backslash& & /& &\backslash & & & \\ C & & & & C& & & & N& -&H \\ || & & & & | & & & /& & & \\ C & & & & C & - & S & =& O& & \\ &\backslash & & /& & &|| & & & & \\ & & C& & & & O & & & & \\ \end{smallmatrix}$ b) Saccharin's molecular weight: $183.18\ g/mol$ In 125 mg: $125\ mg\times10^{-3}\ g/mg\div183.18\ g/mol=6.82\times10^{-4}\ mol$ c) Atomic weight of sulfur: $32.06\ g/mol$ Mass percent in saccharin: $32.06\div183.18\times 100\%=17.5\%$ In 125 mg: $125\times 17.5\div100=21.88\ mg$
