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

Question 12 of 25
NISA [10]

Answer:

B. Equal amounts of all gases have the same volume at the same

conditions

Explanation:

Amedo Avogadro found the relationship between volume of a gas and the number of molecules contained in the volume.

The law states that "equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contains equal number of molecules or moles".

The law describes the behavior of gases when involve in chemical reactions. It enables one to change over at will in any statement about gases from volumes to molecules and vice versa.

So, the right option is B which implies that equal amounts of all gases have the same volume at the same conditions.
