Answer 1

To determine which pairs of compounds have molecules with different ratios of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms, we can analyze the chemical formulas:

1. H2O and H2O2

   • H2O: 2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen (ratio = 2:1)
   • H2O2: 2 hydrogen, 2 oxygen (ratio = 1:1)
   • Different ratios!

2. HNO3 and NaHCO3

   • HNO3: 1 hydrogen, 3 oxygen (ratio = 1:3)
   • NaHCO3: 1 hydrogen, 3 oxygen (ratio = 1:3)
   • Same ratios!

3. NaOH and H2O2

   • NaOH: 1 hydrogen, 1 oxygen (ratio = 1:1)
   • H2O2: 2 hydrogen, 2 oxygen (ratio = 1:1)
   • Same ratios!

4. H2SO4 and HNO2

   • H2SO4: 2 hydrogen, 4 oxygen (ratio = 1:2)
   • HNO2: 1 hydrogen, 2 oxygen (ratio = 1:2)
   • Same ratios!

Based on this analysis, the pair that has different ratios of hydrogen to oxygen atoms is:

H2O and H2O2.
