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.
The answer is heart
good luck!
They are two different elements, C. Elements
Your answer would be C. Alpha decay involves the ejection of 2 protons and 2 neutrons from the nucleus for a total of 4 amu lost. This form of decay is most common in heavy elements.
I believe the answer is Viva
