Verify the law of multiple proportion for the chemical reaction between carbon and oxygen
Answers
Explanation:
The law of multiple proportions, states that when two elements combine to form more than one compound, the mass of one element, which combines with a fixed mass of the other element, will always be ratios of whole numbers.
Let us remember that the law of multiple proportions only applies to compounds composed of the same elements. It does not apply to, let's say, SO2 and CO2 because one compound has sulfur (S) and one has carbon (C).

HELLO!!!!
Carbon can form two different compounds with oxygen. In carbon monoxide, on the left, there is 1.333 g of oxygen for every 1 g of carbon. In carbon dioxide, on the right, there is 2.666 g of oxygen for every gram of carbon. So the ratio of oxygen in the two compounds is 1:2, a small whole number ratio
