Chapter 2, Problem 2.ECP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ratio of the masses of $\text{Ez}$ and $\text{Ex}$ is $\text{1}\text{.3320}\text{g}\text{Ez/1}\text{g}\text{Ex}$.  It has to be found with this added information that what can be known about the formulas for compounds $\text{A,}\text{B}\text{and}\text{C}$ for the following information.

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Compound}\text{\%Ex}\text{\%Ey}\text{\%Ez}\\ \text{A}\text{37}\text{.485}\text{12}\text{.583}\text{49}\text{.931}\\ \text{B}\text{40}\text{.002}\text{6}\text{.7142}\text{53}\text{.284}\\ \text{C}\text{40}\text{.685}\text{5}\text{.1216}\text{54}\text{.193}\end{array}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ratio of the masses of equal numbers of atoms of $\text{Ey}$ and $\text{Ex}$ is $\text{11}\text{.916}\text{g}\text{Ex/1}\text{g}\text{Ey}$.  The ratio of masses of equal numbers of $\text{Ey}$ and $\text{Ex}$ atoms has to be determined.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If the mass ratio of equal numbers of atoms of $\text{Ex}$, $\text{Ey}$ and $\text{Ez}$ are known, then what can be known about the formulas of three compounds A, B and C has to be given.
