Two samples of a compound containing elements a and b are decomposed. the first sample produces 15 g of a and 35 g of b. you may want to reference ( page 49) section 2.3 while completing this problem. part a the second sample produces 10 g of a and what mass of b? the second sample produces 10 of and what mass of ?

23.33 grams of element b was produced by second sample of the compound on decomposition.

Explanation:

Sample-1 of compound containing ab gives :

Mass of a = 15 g

Mass of b = 35 g

Ratio of mass of mass of a to mass of b:

Sample-2 of compound containing ab gives :

Mass of a = 10  g

Mass of b = x

Ratio of mass of mass of a to mass of b:

Since the both samples are of same compound the ratio of masses will remain same.

23.33 grams of element b was produced by second sample of the compound on decomposition.
