The percentage composition of sulphur in the unknown compound can be calculated as follows:
Mass of sulphur = 2.60 g
Mass of unknown compound = 5 g
Percentage of sulphur = (Mass of sulphur / Mass of unknown compound) x 100
= (2.60 g / 5 g) x 100
= 52%
Therefore, the percentage composition of sulphur in the unknown compound is 52%. Answer: \boxed{52\%}.
Mass of sulphur = 2.60 g
Mass of unknown compound = 5 g
Percentage of sulphur = (Mass of sulphur / Mass of unknown compound) x 100
= (2.60 g / 5 g) x 100
= 52%
Therefore, the percentage composition of sulphur in the unknown compound is 52%. Answer: \boxed{52\%}.
