Consider two compounds. Compound A contains 15.7 g of sulfur and 18.6 g of fluorine. Compound B contains 25.4 g of sulfur and 60

.2 g of fluorine. For Compound A, the ratio of fluorine to sulfur is 1.18. For Compound B, the ratio of fluorine to sulfur is 2.37. Using the Law of Definite Proportions (also called the Law of Constant Composition), could Compound A and Compound B be the same compound

Answer:

No, compound A and B are not the same compound

Explanation:

According to the law of definite proportion "every chemical compound contains fixed and constant proportions (by mass) of its constituent elements." (Encyclopedia Britannica)

We can see in the question that the ratio of flourine to sulphur in compound A is 1.18 while the ratio of flourine to sulphur in compound B is 2.37.

The two chemical compounds do not contain a fixed proportion by mass of their constituent elements therefore, they can not be same compound according to the law of definite proportions.

Which is true regarding the penetrating power of radiation?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Gamma radiation have the most penetrating power. It can penetrate through human body, aluminum and other metals. It can be stopped by lead. Hence, the radioactive waste are stored in lead container for safety purposes. The beta ray has more penetrating power than the alpha but less than gamma. The beta radiations can be stopped by aluminum. The alpha radiations have least penetrating power and it can be stopped by human hands.
