QUESTION:

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
