Those small numbers below the element are the key. They tell you the mole ratio. So for Ag which has a 2 after it means that they are 2 "Ag"s.

Sulfur appears to have nothing. That isn't true. It has a 1, but as in math, the 1 is assumed to be there.

Every periodic table is different. So I can't give you exact numbers, but they will be close -- within +/- 1 of what your periodic table will show. So get out your periodic table and correct my numbers.

You periodic table should show that silver has a molar mass of 108. Remember, I'm rounding. You might show 107 point something large or 108 point something small. I will use 108

There are 2 of them

2 * 108 = 216

Sulfur is about 32 or so. There is one of them.

1 * 32 = 32

Now you add these two results together.

  • 2Ag = 216
  • 1 S = 32 Total: just add.
  • Total 248 Answer to Ag2S

Now redo this with the numbers you got from your periodic table.

You can try these if you like

  • CaCl2 = Answer 111
  • CaS = Answer 72
  • KBr = Answer 119
