MHT CET · Chemistry · Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry
"A given compound always contains the same proportion of elements" is a statement of -
- A Law of combining volumes of gases
- B Law of conservation of mass
- C Law of multiple proportions
- D Law of definite proportions
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Law of definite proportions
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
- Law of definite proportion
Regardless of the amount, a compound is always composed of the same elements in the same proportion by mass.
The proportions are found by calculating the percent by mass.
