Answer:
Here is the answer
Explanation:
This law states that: When two elements combine to form two or more compounds, the weight of one of the elements, which combines with a fixed weight of the other, bear a simple whole number ratio. For example, copper and oxygen may react to give either cuprous oxide (Cu2O) or cupric oxide (CuO), respectively.

Answer:
2:1
Explanation:
2Cu+O2=2CuO
4Cu+ O2=2Cu2O
We know that mass of O=16u & mass of Cu=63.5u.
In Cu2O& CuO if we fix the mass of Oxygen as 16 then the ratio of mass of Cu in both the oxides will be
2.63.5:63.5
127:63.5 which is 2:1
This is a simple whole number ratio hence these compounds follow law of multiple proportions
