Answer

The mass ratio of Na to S in Na₂S is 23 : 16

Step-by-step explanation

The molecular formula of sodium sulfide is Na₂S

From the periodic table,

Molar mass of Na = 23 g

Molar mass of S = 32 g

The total mass of Na in Na₂S = 2 x 23 g = 46 g

The total mass of S in Na₂S = 32 g

Therefore the mass ratio of Na to S in Na₂S is


46:32=23:16
