Question

The elements X and Y combine in different ratios to form four different types of compounds: XY, XY2, XY3, and XY4. Consider that there is enough of each compound to contain 2 g of X. In XY the mass of X is 2 g and the mass of Y is 4 g.
Arrange the following ratios in order of their increasing value. Rank from highest to lowest ratio. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

1. The ratio of the mass ratio of Y to X in XY3 to the mass ratio of Y to X in XY.
2. The ratio of the mass ratio of Y to X in XY2 to the mass ratio of Y to X in XY.
3. The ratio of the mass ratio of Y to X in XY4 to the mass ratio of Y to X in XY.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratios in order of increasing value ; The ratio of the mass ratio of Y to X in XY2 to the mass ratio of Y to X in XY, The ratio of the mass ratio of Y to X in XY3 to the mass ratio of Y to X in XY, The ratio of the mass ratio of Y to X in XY4 to the mass ratio of Y to X in XY

1) Mass ratio = 3

2) Mass ratio = 2

3) Mass ratio = 4
