Question

Illustrate the law of multiple proportions using the formation of SO2 and SO3 by sulfur and oxygen​?

Answer 1

Answer:

In these two compounds we can see that the ratio of mass of oxygen that combines with the same mass of sulphur is = 32 : 48 = 2 : 3 ; a simple ratio. Thus we can say that the formation of $S{O_2}$ and $S{O_3}$ illustrates the law of multiple proportions.
