Magnesium and sulphur combine to form magnesium sulphide with the masses of magnesium and sulphur in the ratio of
Magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S) combine to form magnesium sulfide (MgS) according to the reaction:
Mg + s →
From atomic masses:
Magnesium (Mg) = 24 g/mol
Sulfur (S) = 32 g/mol
The ratio of magnesium to sulfur in MgS is:
24/32 = 4/3
Thus, the mass ratio is 4:3.
