Question

if water samples are taken from the sea , rivers or lakes they will be found to contain hydrogen and oxygen in the approximate ratio of 1:8 .This indicates the law of ... ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In chemistry, the law of definite proportion states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in a fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation. Since in all the water samples given, taken from the sea, rivers, clouds, lakes or snow, the hydrogen and oxygen ratio is constant, hence it clearly demonstrates the law of definite proportions.
