Explanation:
From the knowledge of law of multiple proportions,
mass ratio of S to O in SO:
mass of S : mass of O
= 32 : 16
= 32/16
= 2/1
mass ratio of S to O in SO2:
= mass of S : 2 × mass of O
= 32 : 2 × 16
= 32/32
= 1/1
ratio of mass ratio of S to O in SO to mass ratio of S to O in SO2:
= 2/1 ÷ 1/1
= 2
Thus, the S to O mass ratio in SO is twice the S to O mass ratio in SO2.
The answer to this question would be: 2 mol
To answer this question, you need to know the molecular weight of Potassium. Molecular weight determines how much the weight of 1 mol of a molecule has.
Potassium or Kalium molecular weight is 39.1 gram/mol. Then, 78.20gram of potassium should be: 78.20g/ (39.1g/mol)= 2 mol
