I can’t see those image files here — please either upload Almc005-1.jpg and Smc005-2.jpg or tell me the ions/formal charges shown in them (for example “Al3+” and “S2−”).
How to get the ratio (so you can check while you upload or describe):
- Write the charge on each ion (e.g. Al3+, S2−).
- Multiply each ion by a small whole number so total positive charge = total negative charge (use the least common multiple of the charge magnitudes).
- The required ratio is those whole numbers.
Example: if the ions are Al3+ and S2−, LCM(3,2)=6 so you need 2 Al3+ (2×+3=+6) and 3 S2− (3×−2=−6) → ratio Al : S = 2:3.
Upload or describe the two images and I’ll give the exact answer.
