Question

in magnesium sulphide the ratio by mass of mg and S is 324 what is the ratio of number of mg and S atoms​

Answer 1

Answer:

Atomic mass of mg=24g

Atomic mass of S=32g

Ratio of mg and S in mgs=24:32= 3:4

Mass ratio/Atomic mass of

mg=3/24=1/8

Mass ratio /Atomic mass of S= 4/2=1/8

HENCE,the ratio of atoms mgs is=(1/8) : (1/8) = 1:1
