For a molecule AB2, 3.5g of A represents one molar fraction, and 8.00g B represents 2 molar fractions (or 4.0+4.0). Therefore, a direct ratio can be given as 3.5:4.0, or 1:1.14. This means a molecule AnBm will give a mass ratio for A:B of n:1.14xm

For a molecule AB, for every 1g of A, you will have 1.14g of B.

For a molecule AB2, for every 1g of A, you will have 2.28g of B.

For a molecule A2B3, for every 1g of A, you will have (1.14x3/2) 1.71g of B.

Compounds which on dissolving in water gets completely dissociates into its ions are known as strong electrolytes whereas compounds which on dissolving in water gets partially dissociates into its ions are known as weak electrolytes.

Substances which gives solution on dissolving in water and do not dissociates into ions also does not conduct electric current are known as nonelectrolyte.

Hydrochloric acid, $HCl$

On adding $HCl$ (strong acid) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $H^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Sodium hydroxide, $NaOH$

On adding $NaOH$ (strong base) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $Na^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Formic acid, $HCOOH$

On adding $HCOOH$ (weak acid) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions ( $H^{+}$ and $HCOO^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

Methyl amine, $CH_3NH_2$

On adding $CH_3NH_2$ (weak base) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions ( $CH_3NH_3^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.
