A b ox contains some identical red coloured balls. Labelleda as A, each weighing 2g. Another box contains identicla blue coloured balls. Labelled as B, each weighing 5g. Consider combination AB,`AB_(2),A_(2)B` and `A_(2)B_(3)` and show that law of multiple proportions is applicable.

Explanation

Mass of B which is combined with fixed m ass of A (say 1g) will be 2.5g 5g, 1.25g and 3.75g . They are in the ratio 2:4:1 which is a simple whole number ratio. Hence. The law of multiple proportions is applicable.
