Question

The following data are obtained when dinitrogen and dioxygen react together to form different compounds: Mass of dinitrogen Mass of dioxygen 14 g 16 g 14 g 32 g 28 g 32 g 28 g 96 g Which law of chemical combination is obeyed by the above experimental data? (A) Law of conservation of mass (B) Law of definite proportions (C) Law of multiple proportions (D) Avogadro’s Law

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

According to the law of multiple proportions, "if two elements combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element, are in the ratio of small whole numbers."
Fixing the mass of dinitrogen as

28 g

, masses of dioxygen combined will be

32, 64, 32

and

96

in the given figures. They are in the ratio of

1 : 2 : 1 : 3

.

Mass of dinitrogen	Mass of dioxygen
$14 g$	$16 g$
$14 g$	$32 g$
$28 g$	$32 g$
$28 g$	$96 g$
