Phosphorus and chlorine form two compounds. The first contains 22.54% by mass of phosphorus and the second 14.88% of phosphorus. Show that these data are consistent with law of multiple proportions.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The ratio of the masses of chlrorine which combines with a fixed mass of phosphorus in two compounds is 3:5 which is simple whole number ratio. Thus, the data illustrate law multiple proportions.
