Answer: The ratio of mass of sulfur atom to mass of oxygen atom in sulfur dioxide is 1: 1.

Explanation:

Law of constant proportion states that In a chemical substance the elements are always present in definite proportions by mass. This law is also known as 'Law of definite proportions '.

Mass of 1 atom of sulphur = 32 g

Mass of 1 atom of oxygen = 16 g

Mass of 2 atoms of oxygen =16g\times 2=32g

In formation of SO_2 , 1 atom of sulfur combines with 2 atoms of oxygen and thus the mass ratio will be 32: 32= 1:1 .

Thus the ratio of mass of sulfur atom to mass of oxygen atom in sulfur dioxide is 1: 1.

A solution of KOH has a [OH-] concentration of 0.045 M. What is the pOH of the solution? *
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

pOH=1.3

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since pH is computed by knowing the concentration of hydrogen ions, one could compute the pOH by knowing the concentration of the hydroxyl ions as in this case which is 0.045M as shown below:

pOH=-log([OH^-])=-log([0.045])\\\\pOH=1.3

Best regards.

A scientist finds one carbon atom for every two oxygen atoms in a sample of compound X. For which other samples of compound X sh
amm1812

The formula or chemical formula of a compound is same irrespective of source / mode of synthesis . Thus if a sample of compound has one carbon atom for every two atoms of oxygen (CO2), the formula will remains the same

So the answer is that for all other samples the compound X should hold this ration true.
