A water molecule has a ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom. There are 48 atoms. Represent the ratio with a tape diagram.(1 point)
To represent the ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom with a tape diagram, we can draw two equal-sized rectangles for the hydrogen atoms and one rectangle for the oxygen atom.
Each rectangle represents one atom, and there are a total of 48 atoms.
So, we can divide the total length of the tape diagram into three equal parts, where two parts represent hydrogen atoms and one part represents the oxygen atom.
The tape diagram would look like this:
[ Rectangle for Hydrogen Atom ] + [ Rectangle for Hydrogen Atom ] + [ Rectangle for Oxygen Atom ]
Each rectangle would represent 16 atoms since 48 divided by 3 equals 16.
To represent the ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom in a water molecule using a tape diagram, we can draw a rectangle and divide it in a way that represents the ratio.
First, let's draw a rectangle to represent the total number of atoms, which is 48:
--------------------
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
--------------------
Next, let's divide the rectangle into two equal parts to represent the two hydrogen atoms:
----------|---------
| |
| |
| |
| |
----------|---------
Lastly, let's divide one of the equal parts in half to represent the one oxygen atom:
----------|---------
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
----------|---------
Now we have a tape diagram that represents the ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom in a water molecule, with a total of 48 atoms.
To represent the ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom with a tape diagram, we can use squares to represent the atoms.
First, draw two squares to represent the two hydrogen atoms. Label them as "H" to indicate hydrogen. Then, draw one square to represent the oxygen atom and label it as "O" to indicate oxygen.
Now, we have a tape diagram that visually represents the ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom. It should look like this:
H H | O
Each square represents one atom, and the vertical line separates the two hydrogen atoms from the oxygen atom.
