Question

Which law of chemical combination is obeyed by the above experimental data?Give it statement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

law of multiple proportions

The masses of dioxygen bear a whole number ratio of 1:2:2:5. And Hence, the given experimental data obeys the law of multiple proportions. This law was given by Dalton in 1804.

Answer 2

Answer:

The above experimental data obey the law of multiple proportions.

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions states, " If two elements form more than one compound, then the weight of one element that combines with the fixed weight of other elements are in ratios of small numbers".

It means that from the table if we fix the ratio of dinitrogen combining to be 28g, then the resulting weights of dioxygen would be 16g,32g,32g, and 80g.

So the simplified ratio is 1:2:2:5 which is in ratios of small numbers.

Similarly, when we take the fixed weight of dioxygen to be 16g then the resulting weights of dinitrogen will be 14g,14g,28g and 28g.

So, the simplified ratio would be 1:1:2:2 which is in ratios of small numbers.

Therefore, the given experimental data follows the law of multiple proportions which was stated by Dalton.
