This is a tricky question. All that matters are ratios of percentages, not percentages themselves. So no one should directly compare 27.2 with 42.9. We must and shall compare the ratios (27.2 to 72.8) and (42.9 to 57.1).
Take them both down to 1 to and see what happens.
Working out the formulas knowing atomic masses is a bit beside the point; this is how people first DISCOVERED the idea of atomic mass.
A
Carbon Oxygen
27.2g 72.8g (100-27.2)
Moles 27.2/12 72.8/16
2.27 4.55
Ratio 1 2
Do the same with the other
Answer:
In the criss-cross method, the numerical value of the ion charge of the two atoms are crossed over, which becomes the subscript of the other ion. Using this technique, we will write the chemical formula of the given compounds.
Criss cross the absolute values to give Al2O3. To find the formula for magnesium oxide:- The oxidation number of Mg is +2 and oxygen is -2. Criss cross the absolute values to give Mg2O2In this example there is a common factor of 2 so divide by 2 to give MgO.
Hi

Answer:
1. Synthesis
2. Decomposition
3. Single replacement
4. Synthesis
5. Decomposition
6. Synthesis
Explanation:
Kind of a hard picture to look at but let me define each chemical reaction:
Synthesis:
a + b ---> ab In synthesis elements/compounds come together to form new compounds
Decomposition:
ab ---> a + b In decomposition a compound breaks down to form 2 elements/compounds
Single replacement:
a + bc ---> b + ac In a single replacement one element/compound takes the place of another element/compound.
Double replacement
ab + cd ---> ad + bc In a double replacement 2 compounds exchange different elements/compounds.
Now, let's go through the assignment
1. P + O2 --> P4O10 This is a synthesis reaction because the two elements (P and O) came together to form one compound.
2. HgO ---> Hg + O2 This is a decomposition reaction because HgO broke into separate elements Hg and O.
3. Cl2 + NaBr ---> NaCl + Br2 This is a single replacement reaction because chlorine (Cl) replaced the spot of bromine (Br) to bond with sodium (Na).
4. Mg + O2 ---> MgO This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (Mg and O) came together to form one compound.
5. Al2O3 ---> Al + O2 This is a decomposition reactions because Al2O3 broke into separate elements Al and O.
6. H2 + N2 ---> NH3 This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (H and N) came together to form one compound.
