Question
You have two distinct gaseous compounds made from element X and element Y. The mass percents are as follows
Compound I: 32.66% X, 67.34% Y
Compound II: 65.99% X, 34.01% Y
In their natural standard states, element X and element Y exist as gases. (Monatomic? Diatomic? Triatomic? That is for you to determine.) When you
react "gas X" with "gas Y" to make the products, you get the following data (all at the same pressure and temperature):
I volume "gas X" +2 volumes "gas Y"2 volumes compound I
2 volumes "gas XI volume "gas Y"2 volumes compound II
Assume the simplest possible formulas for reactants and products in these chemical equations, Then determine the relative atomic masses of element X
and element Y
Atomic mass Y
Atomic mass X
