Answer:
1 : 1.5
Explanation:
First Sample;
Ratio of sulfur and Oxygen
Mass of sulfur : Mass of oxygen
Mass of oxygen = Mass of sample - Mass of sulfur = 70 - 35 = 35g
35g : 35g
1 : 1
Second Sample;
Ratio of sulfur and Oxygen
Mass of sulfur : Mass of oxygen
Mass of oxygen = Mass of sample - Mass of sulfur = 70 - 28 = 42g
28g : 42g
1 : 1.5
Further reducing it to make oxygen 1;
0.6667 : 1
ratio in whole numbers of the masses of sulfur that combine with 1.00 g of oxygen between the two compounds;
0.6667 : 1
1 : 1.5
