The law of constant proportions states that chemical compounds are made up of elements that are present in a fixed ratio by mass. ... For example, in a nitrogen dioxide (NO2) molecule, the ratio of the number of nitrogen and oxygen atoms is 1:2 but the mass ratio is 14:32 (or 7:16).

Answer:
=>The law of constant proportions states that chemical compounds are made up of elements that are present in a fixed ratio by mass.
=>all samples of that compound will be made up of the same elements in the same proportion or ratio.
Examples:-
=>any water molecule is always made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in a 2:1 ratio.
=>In a nitrogen dioxide (NO2) molecule, the ratio of the number of nitrogen and oxygen atoms is 1:2 but the mass ratio is 14:32 OR 7:16
