Question

83. An element forms two oxide containing 57.7 % and 42.3 % of oxygen respectively. This

illustrates the law of

a) Definite proportion b) Multiple proportion

c) Reciprocal proportion d) None of these​

Answer 1

b) Multiple proportion

Answer 2

Answer:

b) An element forms two oxide containing 57.7 % and 42.3 % of oxygen respectively. This illustrates the law of  Multiple proportion.

Explanation:

An element can produce oxides with varying percentages of oxygen, demonstrating that a fixed mass of elements can combine to make more than one compound than if they were combined in a simple whole-number ratio. As a result, the law of multiple proportions is demonstrated.
