Final answer:

To calculate carbon to phosphorus stoichiometric ratios using results from ICP-MS and CHN analyzer, obtain the molar amount of phosphorus using ICP-MS result, calculate molar amount of carbon using CHN analyzer result, and divide the molar amount of carbon by the molar amount of phosphorus.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate carbon to phosphorus stoichiometric ratios using results from ICP-MS and CHN analyzer, you need the molar amounts of carbon and phosphorus in the sample.

First, obtain the molar amount of phosphorus using the result from the ICP-MS analysis. Then, calculate the molar amount of carbon using the result from the CHN analyzer. Finally, divide the molar amount of carbon by the molar amount of phosphorus to obtain the carbon to phosphorus stoichiometric ratio.
