In each case, calculate the appropriate ratio to show that the information given is consistent with the law of multiple proporti

Alchen [17]

Answer:

(a) 3:2; (b) 2:1

Explanation:

The Law of Multiple Proportions states that when two elements A and B combine to form two or more compounds, the masses of B that combine with a given mass of A are in the ratios of small whole numbers.

That is, if one compound has a ratio r₁ and the other has a ratio r₂, the ratio of the ratios r is in small whole numbers.

(a) Ammonia and hydrazine.

In ammonia, the mass ratio of H:N is r₁ = 0.2158/1

In hydrazine, the mass ratio of H:N is r₂ = 0.1439/1

The ratio of the ratios is:

$r = \dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = \dfrac{ 0.2158}{0.1439} = \dfrac{1.500 }{1} = \dfrac{2.999}{2} \approx \mathbf{\dfrac{3}{2}}\\\\\text{The relative amounts of H in the two compounds are in the ratio }\boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{3}{2}}}$

(b) Nitrogen oxides

In nitrogen monoxide, the mass ratio of O:N is r₁ = 1.142/1

In dinitrogen monoxide, the mass ratio of O:N is r₂ = 0.571/1

The ratio of the ratios is:

$r = \dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = \dfrac{ 1.142}{0.571} = \dfrac{2.000 }{1} \approx \mathbf{\dfrac{2}{1}}\\\\\text{The relative amounts of O in the two compounds are in the ratio }\boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{2}{1}}}$

How can I identify easliy Amphoteric oxide from basic oxide

never [62]

Answer:

A general guideline to determine if oxide is acidic, basic, or amphoteric is to use the periodic table. Typically, metals such as Ba form basic oxides (BaO), while nonmetals such as S form acidic oxides (SO3).
