Question

Calculate the ratio of the numbers of atoms for magnesium sulphide

​

Answer 1

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Answer 2

Explanation:

Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g

Atomic mass of S = 32 g

Ratio of Mg and S in Mg S = 24:32 = 3:4

Mass ratio / Atomic mass of Mg = 3/24 = 1/8

Mass ratio / atomic mass of S = 4/32 = 1/8

Hence, the ratio of atoms in Mg S is = (1/8) : (1/8)
