Question

There are two common oxides of sulphur one of which contain 50% of oxygen by weight The Other almost contain exactly 60% the weight of sulphur which combine with one gram of oxygen are in the ratio of

Answer 1

Dear student

 

                               FIRST OXIDE    SECOND OXIDE
Oxygen                 50%                      60%
sulphur(by diff)    50%                      40%
In first oxide 50 parts by weight of oxygen combine with sulphur=50 parts
1 part by weight of oxygen will combine with sulphur=50/50=1


In second oxide 60 parts by weight of oxygen combine with sulphur=40 parts
1 part by weight of oxygen will combine with sulphur=40/60=2/3


Compare the weights of sulphur which combine with same weight of oxygen in both oxides         
                                                           1:2/3
                                                           =3:2
