Question

By the means of following analytical results show that the law of multiple proportion is true:

Mercurous Chloride Mercuric chloride

Mercury = 84.92% Mercury =73.8%

Chlorine = 15.08% Chlorine =26.20%​

Answer 1

Answer:

Law of multiple proportion states that when two elements combine to form two or more compouds, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element, are in the ratio of small whole numbers.

Case 1:

Mercurous chloride.

Hg=84.92% Cl=15.08%

1g of Hg combines with

84.92

15.08

=0.178g of Cl⟶1

Case 2:

Mercurous chloride.

Hg=73.8% Cl=26.2%

1g of Hg combines with

73.8

26.2

=0.35g of Cl⟶2

Form (1) and (2),

The ratio of 1gof Hg that reacts with 1g of Cl is 0.178:0.35≡1:1.96≡1:2
