<span>Total mass = 2.75g Mass % of Mg = 1.0g x 100/2.75g = 36.36 % Mass % of O = 1.75g x 100/2.75g = 63.64 % Mol of Mg = 36.36/24 = 1.515 Mol of O = 63.64/16 = 3.977 Ratio of Mol of Mg and O in the substance = (1.515 : 3.977) x 2 = 3 : 8 The empirical formula of substance is Mg3O8</span>

Their weights could be different.
Their volumes could be different. 
Their densities could be different.

The volume for an ounce of lead is much different than an ounce of aluminum.

the weight of a cubic meter of balsa wood is much different (and much lighter) than a cubic meter of water. That's why the ancients used balsa for their rafts.
