Two elements X atomic mass =16 and Y atomic mass =14 combine to form compounds A ,B and C. The ratio of different masses of Y which combines with a fixed mass of X in A,B and C is 1:3:5 .If 32 parts by mass of X combines with 84 parts by mass of Y in B then in C,. 16parts by mass of X will combine
Hello student,
I hope you are doing well.
In compound B, 32 parts of X react with 84 parts of Y,
=> In compound B, 16 parts of X react with 42 parts of Y,
In compound C, 16 parts of X react with x parts of Y,
The ratio of masses of Y which combine with fixed mass of X in compounds B and C is 3:5
B | 42 3
C | x 5
=> x = (42X5)/3 = 70
So, the answer is 70 parts.
I hope it helps.
