In four oxides of lead, weights of Lead and Oxygen are as follows.How is the law of multiple proportion satisfied from this data?
Answers
Answer:Law of multiple proportions, states that when two element 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.
For example, there are five distinct oxides of nitrogen, and the weights of oxygen in combination with 14g of nitrogen are, in increasing order, 8,16,24,32 and 40 grams, or in a ratio of 1,2,3,,5.
