QUESTION: Problem 17P
Show, with calculations, how the following data illustrate the law of multiple proportions:
Compound 1: 77.6 mass % xenon and 22.4 mass % fluorine
Compound 2: 63.3 mass % xenon and 36.7 mass % fluorine
ANSWER:
Solution 17P
Here, we have to determine how the following data illustrate the law of multiple proportions.
Step 1 of 4
Law of multiple proportions:
If two elements form more than one compound, then the ratios of masses of the second element which combines with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of same mass element.
Example:
Different ratios of Carbon and Oxygen combines to form CO2 and CO.
