The mass of nitrogen per gram hydrogen in the compound hydrazine is exactly one and half times the mass of nitrogen in the
compound ammonia. The fact illustrates the
Answers
The given fact illustrates the Law of Multiple Proportions.
- The mass of nitrogen is 7 gm and 4.67 gm per gram of hydrogen in Hydrazine and ammonia respectively, or in a ratio of 3 : 2.
- It follows the Law of Multiple Proportions which states that if two elements combine to form more than one compound, then the weight of one element that combines with a fixed weight (or amount) of the other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers.
Answer:The law of multiple proportions says that, If two elements form more than one compound between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers. The ratio of masses of nitrogen per gram of hydrogen in Hydrazine and Ammonia is 1.5:1 = 3:2 Which is simple whole-number ratio. Therefore, it represents the law of multiple proportions.
