Two compounds A and B consist of tin and oxygen. Compound A contains 78.77% of tin and 21.23% of oxygen while compound B contains 88.12% of tin and 11.88% of oxygen. Show that these data illustrate the law of multiplee proportions.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the formation of compound B, 11.88 parts by mass of oxygen combines with 88.12 parts by mass of tin.
`therefore`21.33 parts by mass of oxygen combines with
`(88.12xx21.23)/(11.88)=157.47` parts by mass of tin.
Thus, the ratio of the masses of tin which combine separately with fixed mass (21.33 parts) of oxygen to form the compounds A and B is given by =78.77:157.47=1:2 (approx) which is a siimple whole number ratio. So, the given data illustartes the law of multiple proportions.
