Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which were formerly used in the manufacture of electrical transformers, are environmental and health hazards. They break down very slowly in the environment. The decomposition of PCBs can be represented by the equation:
2C12H4Cl6 + 23O2 + 2H2O --> 24CO2 + 12HCL

A 9.59 g sample of calcium sulfide was decomposed into its constituent elements, producing 5.33 g of calcium and 4.26 g of sulfur. Which of the statements are consistent with the law of constant composition (definite proportions)? The mass percentage of calcium plus the mass percentage of sulfur in every sample of calcium sulfide equals 100%. The ratio of calcium to sulfur will vary based on how the sample was prepared. The mass ratio of Ca to S in every sample of calcium sulfide is 1.25. Every sample of calcium sulfide will have 5.33 g of calcium. Every sample of calcium sulfide will have 55.6% mass of calcium
