state the law of multiple proportion with Example
Answers
Answer:
Law of multiple proportions states 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.
For example-
Hydrogen and oxygen combine to each other forming water or hydrogen peroxide
Hope this helps you :)
AnSwer :-
According to the law of multiple proporiton, if two elements can be combined to form more than one compound the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of there element, are int he same ratio.
For example :-
hydrogen combines with oxygen to form two Compounds; namely water (H₂O)
⠀⠀2g ⠀⠀⠀16g ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀18g
⠀⠀2g ⠀⠀⠀⠀32g ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀34g
Here, the masses of oxygen (.i.e., 16g and 32g), which combines with a fixed mass of hydrogen (2g) bear a simple ratio .i.e., 16 : 32 or 1 : 2
