1.	The weight percentage of carbon dioxide and carbon disulphide are respectively 27.27% and 15.79%. What is the composition of oxide of sulphur, if the weight percentage of oxygen is 50?
Answer» Solution :WEIGHTOF OXYGEN that combines with 1 G of Carbon `=(72.73)/(27.27)=2.67g` Weight of Sulphur that combines with 1 g of Carbon `=(84.21)/(15.79)=5.33g` Ratio of weight of S and O that can combin with same weight of carbon is `5.33:2.67=2:1` The simple multiple ratio is `1:1` The oxide is sulphur DIOXIDE, `SO_(2)`
