Two elements and
have atomic weights of 14 and 16. They form a series of compounds
and
in which for the same amount of element
, the element
is present in the ratio
. If the compound
has 28 parts byweight of
and 16 parts by weight of
, then the compound of
will have 28 parts weight of
and
32 parts by weight of
48 parts by weight of
64 parts by weight of
80 parts by weight of
Given,
For the same weight of element , ratio of weights of
in compounds
and
= 1 : 3
Thus, in the compound , the weight of
present is
