MHT CET · Chemistry · Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry
The combining ratios of hydrogen and oxygen in water and hydrogen peroxide are 1: 8 and 1: 16. Which law is illustrated in this example?
- A Law of definite proportions
- B Law of conservation of mass
- C Gay Lussac’s law of combining volumes of gases
- D Law of multiple proportions
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Law of multiple proportions
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The combining ratios of hydrogen and oxygen in water and hydrogen peroxide are 1: 8 and 1: 16. It is an example of law of multiple proportions. According to this law, if two elements combine together to form several compounds then weight of one of these elements, which combines with a fixed weight of the other, are in ratio of simple whole numbers.
