Question

according to the law of constant proportions, would distilled water and sea water have the exact same elements? why?

Answer 1

Answer:

They do have the same elements, ie. Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Explanation:

The difference is in the components or dissolved elements in it.

Answer 2

The distilled water and seawater have the exact same elements, according to the law of constant proportions.

Explanation:

1. The Law of constant proportions is the law that states that the different chemical compounds have the same elements that are present in a fixed ratio by mass.
2. Thus, whatever the source is pure water obtained from different sources will have the same proportion of elements by mass.
3. Thus distilled water and seawater always contain hydrogen and oxygen combined in the ratio of 1:8 by mass.
