Step-by-step explanation:

MrRoyal

The ratios of oxygen atom and sulfur atom is an illustration of equivalent ratios.

There are 12 oxygen atoms, when the number of sulfur atom is 6.

From the diagram, we have:

[tex]S = 1[/tex]

[tex]O_x = 2[/tex]

So, the ratio is:

[tex]S : O_x = 1 : 2[/tex]

When there are 6 sulfur atoms, the equation becomes

[tex]6 : O_x = 1 : 2[/tex]

Express as a fraction

[tex]\frac{O_x}{6}= \frac{2}{1}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 6

[tex]O_x = 2 \times 6[/tex]

[tex]O_x =12[/tex]

Hence, there are 12 oxygen atoms
