Mass Ratio of Elements in Ammonia Is Constant
- If we decompose a 17.0-g sample of ammonia, a compound composed of nitrogen and hydrogen, we would get 14.0 g of nitrogen and 3.0 g of hydrogen, or a nitrogen-to-hydrogen mass ratio of
- Even though atoms combine in whole-number ratios, their mass ratios are not necessarily whole numbers.
