उत्तर

Mass of X in the given compound =24 g

Mass of oxygen in the given compound =64 g

So total mass of the compound =24 + 64 = 88 g

% of X in the compound = `24/88 xx100` = 27.3%

% of oxygen in the compound = `64/88 xx100` =72.7%

Element %age Atomic weight Atomic ratio Simplest ratio
X 27.3 12 `27.3/12` = 2.27 `2.27/2.27` = 1
O 72.7 16 `72.7/16` = 4.54 `4.54/2.27` = 2

So, simplest formula of the compound = XO2
