Question

Which one of the following pairs of compounds
illustrate the law of multiple proportions ?
(a) H₂O, Na₂O (b) MgO, Na₂O
(c) Na₂O, BaO (d) SnCl₂, SnCl₄

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

hope its helpful

Answer 2

(d) SnCl₂, SnCl₄

Explanation:

The proportion of Sn to Cl in the first compound SnCl2 is 1:2.

The proportion of Sn to Cl in the second compound SnCl4 is 1:4.

So, these two compounds illustrate the law of multiple proportions.

In chemistry, the law of multiple proportions states that if two elements form more than one compound between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers

Option D is the answer.
