Question

explain law of multiple proportion​

Answer 1

Answer:

Law of multiple proportions, statement that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.

Answer 2

Answer:

Law of Multiple proportion states that when two elements combine to form more than one compound, the mass of one element, which combines with a fixed mass of the other element, will always be ratios of whole numbers.

For example let us assume 2 molecules CO(carbon monoxide) adn CO2(carbon dioxide).

CO= 12gm of carbon + 16 gram of Oxygen.

CO2= 12gm carbon+ 32 gram of Oxygen .

thus ratio of mass of oxygen in the given two compounds is 16:32=1:2.

thus law of multiple proportions is proved.
