Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of S to O in SO to the mass ratio of S to O in SO2.Estimate that the mass of S = 32 g and the mass of O = 16 g for this experiment. That is, the experimenter has enough sample such that there are 32 g of S in each.

Answer: The ratio of the mass ratio of S to O in SO to the mass ratio of S to O in [tex]SO_2[/tex] is 2.

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of sulfur = 32 grams

Mass of oxygen = 16 grams

  • Taking SO molecule:

A chemical compound having a chemical formula of SO

Mass of Sulfur in SO = 32 g

Mass of Oxygen in SO = 16 g

Mass ratio of Sulfur to oxygen in SO = [tex]\frac{\text{Mass of sulfur}}{\text{Mass of oxygen}}=\frac{32g}{16g}=2[/tex]     .....(1)

  • Taking [tex]SO_2[/tex] molecule:

A chemical compound having a chemical formula of [tex]SO_2[/tex]

Mass of Sulfur in [tex]SO_2[/tex] = 32 g

Mass of Oxygen in [tex]SO_2[/tex] = (2 × 16) = 32 g

Mass ratio of Sulfur to oxygen in [tex]SO_2[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\text{Mass of sulfur}}{\text{Mass of oxygen}}=\frac{32g}{32g}=1[/tex]     .....(2)

Taking ratio of 1 and 2, we get:

[tex]\frac{\text{Mass ratio of Sulfur to oxygen in SO}}{\text{Mass ratio of Sulfur to oxygen in }SO_2}=\frac{2}{1}=2[/tex]

Hence, the ratio of the mass ratio of S to O in SO to the mass ratio of S to O in [tex]SO_2[/tex] is 2.
