Question

4.4 gram of an oxide of nitrogen gives 2324 L of nitrogen and 60g of other oxide of nitrogen gives 22.4L of nitrogen at Stp

Answer 1

Explanation:

Correct option is

B

multiple proportions

For the first oxide, the ratio of the mass of the oxide to the volume of the nitrogen liberated is

2.24

4.4

=1.96

For the second oxide, the ratio of the mass of the oxide to the volume of the nitrogen liberated is

22.4

60

=2.67

These two are in the ratio

2.67

1.96

=

1.33

1

=

4

3

or 3:4

Hence, this illustrates the Law of multiple proportions.

Note: In the above example, we have used volume of nitrogen which is proportional to the mass of nitrogen.
