The sample with the largest number of oxygen atoms will be calcium perchlorate.
<h3>Number of atoms in a compound</h3>
Since we are not looking at the number of moles, the mass of the compounds has no bearing on the number of atoms of oxygen.
- The chemical formula for carbon dioxide is
. Thus, it has 2 atoms of oxygen. - The chemical formula for potassium chlorate is
. Thus, it has 3 oxygen atoms. - The chemical formula for calcium perchlorate is
. Thus, it has 8 atoms of oxygen. - The chemical formula for sodium hydroxide is NaOH. Thus, it has 1 atom of oxygen.
Therefore, the compound with the largest number of oxygen atoms is calcium perchlorate.

#SPJ1
I think the correct answers are X2Y and X3Y, X2Y5 and X3Y5, and X4Y2 and X3Y,
for the following reason:
If you look at the combining masses of X and Y in
each of the two compounds,
The first compound contains 0.25g of X combined with
0.75g of Y
so the ratio (by mass) of X to Y = 1 : 3
The second compound contains 0.33 g of X combined with
0.67 g of Y
so the ratio (by mass) of X to Y = 1 : 2
Now, you suppose to prepare each of these two
compounds, starting with the same fixed mass of element Y ( I will choose 12g
of Y for an easy calculation!)
The first compound will then contain 4g of X and 12g
of Y
The second compound will then contain 6g of X and
12g of Y
<span>The ratio which combined
the masses of X and the fixed mass (12g) of Y
= 4 : 6
<span>or 2 : 3 </span>
So, the ratio of MOLES of X which combined with the
fixed amount of Y in the two compounds is also = 2 : 3 </span>
The two compounds given with the plausible formula must therefore contain
the same ratio.
It is true that substances that have a high melting point and conduct electricity in the liquid phase are ionic substances, and if one of your options is NaCl, then that is the correct answer.
