Chlorine and oxygen form two different compounds. One of them contains 81.6% chlorine and the other contains 59.7% chlorine. Which law of chemical combination supports these observations.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the 1st and 2nd compound percentage of oxygen are 18.4 and 40.31 respectively. The ratio of the masses of oxygen which combine separately with fixed mass of carbon (81.6 parts) in these compounds is
`=18.4:(40.3xx81.6)/(59.7)=18.4:55.08~~1:3`
so, the observation supports the law of multiple proportion.
