two oxides of Nitrogen contain the following percentage compositions oxide contains 63.6 4% is nitrogen and 36.3 6 percentage oxygen oxide B contains 40 6.67% in nitrogen and 53.3 3% is Oxygen establish the law of multiple proportion
Answers
Answer: Law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine to form two or more compounds in more than one proportion. The mass of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are present in the ratios of small whole number.
In the two oxides of nitrogen
Oxide 1: Mass of nitrogen = 63.64 g
Mass of oxygen = 36.36 g
Oxide 2: Mass of nitrogen = 46.67 g
Mass of oxygen = 53.33 g
Thus let us fix the mass of nitrogen:
If 46.67g of nitrogen is combining with 53.33 g in oxide 2
Then 63.34 g of nitrogen will combine with
As, the mass of nitrogen is fixed, so the mass ratio of oxygen in both the compounds must be in whole number ratio.
Mass ratio of oxygen in both the compounds =
Hence, these two compounds obeys Law of multiple proportions.
