Question

element X forms five stable oxides with oxygen of formula X2O, XO, X2O3, X2O4, X2O5. the formation of these oxides explain which law l

Answer 1

Answer:

laws of multiple proportions.......(ans)

Answer 2

THE FORMATION OF OXIDES BY X IS EXPLAINED BY THE LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS.

Explanation:

• The law of multiple proportions state that 2 elements can combine to form different compounds.
• The mass ratio of the 2nd element which combines with a fixed mass of 1st element is always in whole number ratio.
• Example: 2 hydrogen atoms combine with 1 oxygen atom to form water and with 2 oxygen atoms to form hydrogen peroxide.
• Similarly the given element X follows the "law of multiple proportions".
• $X_{2} O,XO,X_{2} O_{3} ,X_{2} O_{4} ,X_{2} O_{5}$  follows the Law of multiple proportions.
