Question

Two samples of lead oxide were separately reduced to metallic lead by heating in a current of hydrogen. The weight of lead from one oxide was half the weight of lead obtained from the other oxide. The data illustrates _______.
(A) law of reciprocal proportions
(B) law of constant proportions
(C) law of multiple proportions
(D) law of equivalent proportions

Answer 1

Answer:

law of constant proportion

Answer 2

Hii dear,

◆ Answer - (C)

• Two samples of lead oxide were separately reduced to metallic lead by heating in a current of hydrogen. The weight of lead from one oxide was half the weight of lead obtained from the other oxide. The data illustrates law of multiple proportions.

● Law of multiple proportions -

• It 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.

Hope this helps you understand the concept...
