Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of S to O in SO to the mass ratio of S to O in SO2 . Consider a sample of SO in which the mass of S = 32 g and the mass of O = 16 g . Assume that in SO2 that there is also 32 g of S .

Sagot :

The correct answer is The mass ratio of S to O in SO divided by the mass ratio of S to O in SO2 is 2 :1.

When two elements can combine to form two or more different compounds, the mass of one element compared to the fixed mass of the other will always be in a ratio of small whole numbers.

As we all know,

Oxygen mass = 16 g

Sulfur mass = 32 g

Sulfur mass in SO = 32 g

The mass of oxygen in SO is 16 g.

Sulfur to oxygen mass ratio in SO =..... (1)

Sulfur mass in SO2 = 32 g

Oxygen mass in SO2 = (2 16)g = 32 g

Sulfur to oxygen mass ratio in SO2 =..... (1)

The S/O ratio in SO is 2: 1.

The S/O ratio in SO2 is 1: 1.

Taking the ratios 1 and 2, we get:

the mass ratio of S to O in SO to mass ratio of S to O in SO2 is 2 : 1
