Given information
Here both sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide decompose to give oxygen and sulfur.
Amount of 'O' formed from 
Amount of 'S' produced from 
Amount 'O' produced from 
Amount of 'S' formed from 
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
According to the law of multiple proportions, if two elements form more than one compound, then it is found that the ratios of masses of the second element that combine with a definite mass of the first element will be in a simple whole-number ratio.
In the case of sulfur dioxide, the mass of 'O' per gram of 'S' can be found out as:
of sulfur combines with 
of oxygen.
Then the amount of oxygen that combines with 
of sulfur can be shown as:
