If a sample of a different compound decomposes into 0.429 g of carbon and 0.571 g of oxygen, what is its ratio of the mass of o to c

1.33 to 1 or 1.33 : 1

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the given masses, the ratio is obtained by simple finding the division between the obtained mass of oxygen and the obtained mass of carbon as shown below:

Thereby, the ratio is 1.33 to 1 or 1.33 : 1.

Best regards.

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
