Sulfur and oxygen form both sulfur dioxide and sulfur
Chapter 2, Problem 37E(choose chapter or problem)
Sulfur and oxygen form both sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. When samples of these were decomposed the sulfur dioxide produced 3.49 g oxygen and 3.50 g sulfur, while the sulfur trioxide produced 6.75 g oxygen and 4.50 g sulfur. Calculate the mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for each sample and show that these results are consistent with the law of multiple proportions.

ANSWER:Solution 37E (a) In the Thomson's cathode ray tube, we can see in the diagram, there is electron beam passed through the tube. Electrons are negatively charged particles . Hence electron is the charged particle used in the Thomson’s cathode ray tube experiment. In the Mass spectrometer, any sample introduced is bombarded by a stream of high-energy electrons. Collisions between the electrons and the atoms or molecules of the sample produce positively charged
