Answer:

They are all the same = 8

Explanation:

Since the symbol of that atom is not give, we can infer from the given number the nature and kind of element we are dealing with.

The number 15.999 rounded up to 16 is the atomic weight of the atom also called the mass number.

Although not peculiar enough, we are certain that this atom is Oxygen.

 On the periodic table, elements are arranged based on their atomic numbers.

    Atomic number of oxygen = 8 = number of protons

For every neutral atom on the periodic table, the number of protons and electrons are the same

Atomic number of oxygen = number of protons = number of electrons = 8

 Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 16 - 8 = 8

Consider the balanced equation below.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The correct option is (a) H₂S : SO₂ = 2 : 2 and O₂ : H₂O = 3 : 2

<h3>What is molar Ratio ?</h3>

Molar ratio also known as stoichiometry is the ratio in which the reactants and products are either formed or reacted in the given equation

the balanced equation is as follows ;

2H₂S + 3O₂ --> 2SO₂ + 2H₂O

molar ratio can be determined by the coefficients of the compounds in the balanced reaction.

coefficient is the number in front of the chemical compound

coefficients for the compounds in this reaction are as follows ;

  • H₂S - 2
  • O₂ - 3
  • SO₂ - 2
  • H₂O - 2

therefore, correct option is (a) H₂S:SO₂ = 2:2 and O₂:H₂O = 3:2
