Nitrogen forms five stable oxides with oxygen of the formula \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{NO}, \mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \mathrm{~N}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\) and \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\). The formation of these oxides explains fully the

  1. A law of definite proportion.
  2. B law of partial pressure.
  3. C law of multiple proportion.
  4. D law of reciprocal proportion.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) law of multiple proportion.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The weight of oxygen which combine with the fixed weight of nitrogen \((=28 \mathrm{~g})\) in \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{NO}, \mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\), \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\) and \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\) are \(16,32,48,64,80 \mathrm{~g}\) respectively.…
