Two elements X and Y have atomic masses 14 and 16 respectively. They can form a series of five compounds A, B, C, D and E in which for the same amount of X, Y is present in the ratio of 1:2:3:4:5. If the compound A has 28 parts by weight of X and 16 parts by weight of Y, then compound C will have 24 parts by weight of Y combined with

1.	Two elements X and Y have atomic masses 14 and 16 respectively. They can form a series of five compounds A, B, C, D and E in which for the same amount of X, Y is present in the ratio of 1:2:3:4:5. If the compound A has 28 parts by weight of X and 16 parts by weight of Y, then compound C will have 24 parts by weight of Y combined with
Answer» 28 PARTS by weight of X 14 parts by weight of X 8 parts by weight of X 4.1 parts by weight of X SOLUTION :Ratio of X and Y in compound A is 1:1: Ratio of X and Y in compound C is 1:3 Now if in compound A, 28 parts bywt. of X combine with 16 parts by wt. of Y then in compound C, 28 parts of X will combine with `16 XX 3= 48 ` parts of Y ` THEREFORE ` 24 parts of Y will combine with 14 parts of X in compound C .
