Explanation:
From the knowledge of law of multiple proportions,
mass ratio of S to O in SO:
mass of S : mass of O
= 32 : 16
= 32/16
= 2/1
mass ratio of S to O in SO2:
= mass of S : 2 × mass of O
= 32 : 2 × 16
= 32/32
= 1/1
ratio of mass ratio of S to O in SO to mass ratio of S to O in SO2:
= 2/1 ÷ 1/1
= 2
Thus, the S to O mass ratio in SO is twice the S to O mass ratio in SO2.
The existence of an atom was first suggested by Democritus, the idea is then developed in 1803 by John Dalton.
According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter is made up of atoms which are inseparable and can not be destroyed further. For a given element, all atoms have identical mass and properties. Atoms of two different elements combine to form compounds and rearrangement of these atoms results in chemical reaction.
To answer this problem, we need to count the electrons in the given configuration. The complete configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6. There are 2+2+6+2+6 equal to 18 electrons. We find next the element with an atomic number of 18. That element is noble gas argon.
Mass wasting I think it's done
