Question

Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory can explain the law of definite proportions?

and

Hydrogen and oxygen combine in the ratio of 1:8 by mass to form water. What mass of oxygen gas would be required to react completely with 3 g of hydrogen gas?​

Answer 1

Answer:

5th postulate of dalton's atomic theory is the answer

Explanation:

go to second chapter of ur scince text just a page after on the left bottom can see 6 daltons atomic theory

the questions answer is 24 g of oxygen

Hope it helped

pls mark me as brainlist

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer 2: The law of constant proportions states that in a chemical substance, the elements are always present in definite proportions by mass. Hydrogen and oxygen combine in the ratio of 1:8 by mass to form water.

1g of hydrogen reacts with oxygen = 8g

Thus, in order to form water, 3 x 8 = 24 g of oxygen will react completely with 3 g of hydrogen gas.

Concept insight: Recall the law of constant proportions and then apply that in a chemical substance, the elements are always present in definite proportions by mass.

OR

2H

+O

→2H

4g 32g 36g

Since, 32 g of oxygen reacts with 4g of H

.

So, 3g of H

=24 grams of O
