Two elements x (at mass = 75) and y(at mas=16) combine to give a compound having `75.8%` x. The formula of the compound is

A

xy

B

`x_(2)y`

C

`x_(2)y_(2)`

D

`x_(2)y_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mole ratio of `x=(75.8)/(75)=1.01`
Mole ratio of `y =(24.2)/(16)=1.5`
Simple ratio `=x:y = 1:1.5=2:3=x_(2)y_(3)`
