There are two common oxides of sulphur, one of which contains `50% O_(2)` by weight, the other almost exactly `60%`. The weight of sulphur which combine with `1 g` of `O_(2)` (fixed) are in the ratio of

A

`1:1`

B

`2:1`

C

`2:3`

D

`3:2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In` "I" ^(st)` oxide
50 gm O combine with 50 gm S
1 gm O combine with 1 gm S
In `"II"^(nd)`oxide
60 gm O combine with 40 gm S
1 gm O combine with 40 gm S
Ratio in which 1 gm O combine with different masses of sulphur 3 :2
