Elements `A` and `B` combine to form three different compounds:
`0.3 g of A + 0.4 g of B rarr 0.7 g ` of compound `X`
`18.0 g of A + 48.0 g of B rarr 66.0 g` of compound `Y`
`40.0 g of A + 159.99 g of B rarr 199.99 g` of compound `Z`
Show that the law of multiple proportions is illustrated by the data given above.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Weight of `B` combine with `1.0 g` of `A` in the compounds `X, Y` and `Z`, are respectively,
`0.4//0.3 = 1.33, 48.0//18.0 = 2.66,` and `159.99//40.0 = 4.00`
Ratio being `1.33:2.66:4.00` or `1 : 2 : 3` is simple and this illustrate the law of multiple proportions.
