There are many compounds with a relative mass of 72.Eg. pentane (C5H12), methyl butane (CH3)-(C4H9), dimethyl propane (CH3)2-(C3H6). Inorganic formula's can not easily be guessed, but undoubtly be found.Only one (isotope of an) element has the relative mass of 72: Gallium, (Ga-72), but this is not a natural, stable isotope. Gallium has not a molecular formula (being a metal like aluminum) only an atomic symbol: Ga.
Oxygen is a non meta element. Atomic mass of it is 16.

No, subscripts in a chemical formula represent the number of atoms of each element in the compound. The relative mass of each atom is accounted for by the atomic mass of the element found in the periodic table. So, atomic mass, not subscripts, gives you the relative mass of each type of atom in a compound.

The relative atomic mass of sulfur is 32.06 g/mol and the relative atomic mass of oxygen is 16.00 g/mol. Therefore, the relative molecular mass of SO2 (sulfur dioxide) is 32.06 + (16.00 x 2) = 64.06 g/mol.
The relative formula mass of iodine is 253.8 g/mol.
The molar mass of sulfur dioxide (SO2) is 64.06 g/mol. The molar mass of sulfur is 32.06 g/mol. Calculate the mass percent of sulfur in SO2 using the formula (mass of sulfur / mass of SO2) x 100%. This gives a mass percent of sulfur in SO2 as 50%.
The formula mass of the compound sulfur dioxide, SO2 is 32.1 + 2(16.0) = 64.1Amount of SO2 = mass of pure sample/molar mass = 37.4/64.1 = 0.583mol There are 0.583 moles of sulfur dioxide in a 37.4g pure sample.
The relative atomic mass of copper is approximately 63.55. To calculate the relative formula mass of copper, you sum the atomic masses of its atoms, which in this case would just be the atomic mass of copper. Therefore, the relative formula mass of copper would be 63.55.
The relative formula mass of ethanol (C2H5OH) is 46 g/mol.
S + o2 = so2
The chemical formula is (NO3)-; the mass is 62 g.
The relative formula mass of a hydrogen molecule (H2) is calculated by adding the atomic masses of the two hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom has an atomic mass of approximately 1, so the relative formula mass of a hydrogen molecule is 2.
The relative formula mass of lead oxide (PbO) is calculated by adding the atomic masses of the elements in the formula. The atomic mass of lead (Pb) is 207.2 g/mol, and the atomic mass of oxygen (O) is 16.0 g/mol. Therefore, the relative formula mass of lead oxide is 207.2 + 16.0 = 223.2 g/mol.
The formula for sulphur IV oxide is SO2.
The relative formula mass of a molecule of hydrgoen is two (2 x 1).
