To check the principle of multiple proportions, a series of pure binary compounds PmQn were analysed and their composition is tabulated below. The correct option(s) is(are)
Compound Weight % of P Weight % of Q
1 50 50
2 44.4 55.6
3 40 60

  1. A If empirical formula of compound 3 is P3Q4, then the empirical formula of compound 2 is P3Q5.
  2. B If empirical formula of compound 3 is P3Q2 and atomic weight of element P is 20 , then the atomic weight of Q is 45.
  3. C If empirical formula of compound 2 is PQ, then the empirical formula of the compound 1 is P5Q4.
  4. D If atomic weight of P and Q are 70 and 35, respectively, then the empirical formula of compound 1 is P2Q.
