Question

Give the formula, elements and their ratio in Hydrogen sulphide

Answer 1

The molecular formula for Hydrogen sulphide is $\mathbf{\left(}{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{S}\mathbf{\right)}$.

Identify the elements and their ratio in hydrogen sulphide:

1. Thus, the elements in Hydrogen sulphide are hydrogen $\mathbf{\left(}\mathbf{H}\mathbf{\right)}$ and sulphur $\mathbf{\left(}\mathbf{S}\mathbf{\right)}$.
2. The molecular formula shows that there are $2$ atoms of hydrogen $\mathbf{\left(}\mathbf{H}\mathbf{\right)}$ and $1$ one atom of sulphur $\mathbf{\left(}\mathbf{S}\mathbf{\right)}$.
3. Thus, the ratio of hydrogen $\mathbf{\left(}\mathbf{H}\mathbf{\right)}$ and sulphur $\mathbf{\left(}\mathbf{S}\mathbf{\right)}$ is $\mathbf{2}\mathbf{:}\mathbf{1}$.
