The Law Of Definite Proportion:

  • This law tells us that a chemical compound that is pure always consists of the same elements combined together in a fixed proportion by weight.

  • This law was proposed by Joseph Proust.

  • Let us understand this law with the help of an example.

  • Case 1: Burning Coke In Air: C(s) + O2(g) --Heat---> CO2(g). In this reaction we combine coke which is an allotrope of carbon with oxygen. To form Carbon Dioxide.

  • By the decomposition of Limestone in Air: Lets see the chemical reaction. CaCO3 ----heat--> CaO(s) + CO2(g) Calcium carbonate on decomposition reaction will give calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
