Compounds A and BB are colorless gases obtained by combining sulfur with oxygen. Compound A results from combining 6.00 gg of sulfur with 5.99 gg of oxygen, and compound BB results from combining 8.60 gg of sulfur with 12.88 gg of oxygen. Show that the mass ratios in the two compounds are simple multiples of each other.

Mass ratio of sulfur and oxygen in compounds A and B is 3:2 which confirms that the mass ratios in the two compounds are simple multiples of each other

Explanation:

This question seeks to establish/confirm the law of multiple proportions which  posits that elements combine to form different substances which are whole number multiples of each other. Best example of this plays out in the formation of several oxides of the same element. Looking at the ratio in which the elements combine in each of the oxides, we can assume that these ratios are simple whole number multiples of each other.

Now back to the question.

In substance A, we have 6 g of sulfur combining with 5.99 g of oxygen

Now, lest us calculate the ratio of the mass of sulfur to that of oxygen = 6g/5.99g = 1

Now let us calculate the mass ratio of sulfur to oxygen in the second compound = 8.6/12.88 = 0.668

Now the ratios in both compounds are 1 to 0.668. 0.668 to fraction is approximately 1/1.5.

So therefore, the ratio we are having would be 1:1/1.5 or 1:0.668

This is same as 1/(1÷1.5) which is 1.5/1 or simply 3/2

This gives a ratio of approximately 1.5 to 1 or 3 to 2

The ratio 3 to 2 indicates that the mass ratios in both com pounds are simple multiples of each other

odds are decent that your handwriting right now looks a little bit different than it did five years ago, and will look different again in five more. when i look back through my notebooks from middle school to now, i see a long, slow progression from meticulous and teeny letters to bigger, sloppier ones, plus a few side detours: sometime in high school, for example, i decided those loopy cursive lowercase f’s were just the coolest, adopting them as the lone rep for cursive in my otherwise all-print handwriting.

explanation:

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
