AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the density of sulfur vapor relative to oxygen can be concluded to be 2 based solely on the fact that the mass of a sulfur atom is double that of an oxygen atom, we need to consider the relationship between molecular weight and density. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Atomic Mass**: - The problem states that the mass of a sulfur atom is double that of an oxygen atom. - Let's denote the atomic mass of oxygen as \( M_O \) and that of sulfur as \( M_S \). Therefore, we have: \[ ...
