  1. S. No.

    Compounds Chemical formula Ratio by mass of the combining elements
    (a) Ammonia NH3

    N:H = 14:3

    (b)

    Carbon monoxide CO

    C:O = 12:16

    C:O = 3:4

    (c) Aluminium fluoride HCl

    H:Cl = 1:35.5

    (d)

    Aluminium fluoride AlF3

    Al:F = 27: (19 × 3)

    Al:F = 27: 57

    Al:F = 9:19

    (e) Magnesium sulphide MgS

    Mg:S = 24:32

    Mg:S = 3:4
