Answer:

16:1

Explanation:

Atoms of element X weigh 32 times more than atoms of element Y. We can write this in a symbolic way.

mX = 32 mY   [1]

where,

  • mX and mY are the masses of X and Y, respectively

A compound has the formula: XY₂, that is, in 1 molecule of XY₂ there is 1 atom of X and 2 atoms of Y. The ratio of the mass of X to the mass of Y in this compound equals:

mX/2 mY  [2]

If we substitute [1] in [2], we get:

mX/2 mY = 32 mY/2 mY = 16 = 16:1

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

It has been approximately 6 hours after death.

Explanation:

This is because between 2-6 hours after death, the body starts becoming stiff from top to bottom, then spreading to the limbs. Since there is only rigor in his upper body, that would mean that with normal temperature and body conditions, it would be 4 or 5 hours after death. But since he is obese and in cold temperature, there is slower progression of rigor, leading to the maximum time in the first rigor mortis phase, 6 hours.
