Strategy:
 This is a conservation of mass problem where Sulfur is distributed between two products. Set up a system where the total mass of the reactants () equals the total mass of the products, while maintaining the stoichiometric sulfur balance.

Step 1: Conservation principles
Total mass of reactants .
Let mass of  be , then mass of  is .

Step 2: Sulfur Atom Balance

Multiply by 320 to clear denominators:

.

Step 3: Conclusion
Mass of , Mass of .
