Question

An oxide of sulphur and oxygen combined in the ratio 2:3 by mass. calculate the formulae of the oxide. atomic mass of sulpur =32 and oxygen =16

Answer 1

Answer:

As ratio is 2:3

S⟶2O⇒SO 2

S⟶3O⇒SO3

​  

 

Therefore, the 2 oxides are SO  

2

​  

 and SO  

3

​  

 .

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The formula of the oxide is SO3
