Answers
Explanation:
The law of definite proportion, sometimes called Proust's law, or law of constant composition states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio and does not depend on its source and method of preparation.

⇴Law of definite proportions: It states that a given chemical substance (compound) always contains the same elements combined in a fixed proportion by weight.
⇴It is also called the law of constant composition.
⇴The law of combining volumes was given by Gay Lussac in 1808. It is applicable only to a gaseous reaction.
⇴ According to this law, gases combine or are produced in a chemical reaction they do so in a simple ratio by volume provided all gases are at same temperature and pressure.
⇴ So, the law of definite proportions when expressed in terms of volumes becomes 'Gay-Lussac's Law'.
⇴Avogadro's law states that 'equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules'.
⇴According to Berzelius hypothesis, equal volumes of all gases contain an equal number of atoms under similar conditions of temperature and pressure.
