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
