Answer:

1.5

Explanation:

Given that :

Compound A and B are formed from Sulfur + Oxygen.

Compound A :

6g sulfur + 5.99g Oxygen

Compound B:

8.6g sulfur + 12.88g oxygen

Comparing the ratios :

Compound A:

S : O = 6.00 : 5.99

S/0 = 6.0g S / 5.99g O

Compound B :

S : O = 8.60 : 12.88

S / O = 8.60g S / 12.88g O

Mass Ratio of A / mass Ratio of B

(6.0g S / 5.99g O) ÷ (8.60g S / 12.88g O)

(6.0 g S / 5.99g O) × (12.88g O / 8.60g S)

(6 × 12.88) / (5.99 × 8.60)

= 77.28 / 51.514

= 1.50017

= 1.5

Explain why hydrogen and oxygen are considered elements whereas water is not considered an element.
Ghella [55]
Elements are the simplest building blocks you can break matter down into using purely chemical methods. They are a pure substance made up from only one type of atom.

When you mix elements together these form compounds. The important difference is that as they are a mixture of more than one type of element, they CAN be broken down into more simple substances using chemical means!

As such Hydrogen or Oxygen cannot be simplified chemically (they are therefore elements), however dihydrogen monoxide (H2O or water) is a mixture of these elements that can be broken down using chemical means and so is a compound.

During the war where did African-Americans receive the best treatment?
Sindrei [870]

Hope this helps. Sorry of it is long

Answer: military

African Americans received the best treatment in the military during war. Making up about 3/4 of the military, African American soldiers proved their efficiency and ability to serve the country, thus receiving more respect from society than if they were to work in more "common" jobs, for example in a factory. However, while they received the best treatment in the military during the war, African Americans still faced segregation within the units of the military, an important fact to note.
