Solution
Mass of gold = mg
Mass of gold = `"m"/100`g
Number of atoms of silver = `"Mass"/"Atomic mass" xx "N"_"A"`
= `"m"/100 xx "N"_"A"`
Number of atoms of gold = `"m"/(100 xx 197) xx "N"_"A"`
Ratio of number of atoms of gold to silver = Au : Ag
= `"m"/(100 xx 197) xx "N"_"A" : "m"/108 xx "N"_"A"`
= 108 : 100 × 197
= 108 : 19700
= 1: 182.41
