The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will analyze the data provided for the two oxides of nitrogen and determine which law is illustrated by the given information. ### Step 1: Analyze the first oxide of nitrogen We are given: - Mass of the first oxide of nitrogen = 4.4 g - Volume of nitrogen produced = 2.24 L At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L. Therefore, we can calculate the number of moles of nitrogen produced. **Calculation:** \[ \text{Number of moles of } N_2 = \frac{\text{Volume of } N_2}{\text{Molar volume at STP}} = \frac{2.24 \, \text{L}}{22.4 \, \text{L/mol}} = 0.1 \, \text{mol} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the mass of nitrogen in the first oxide The molar mass of nitrogen (N) is 14 g/mol, so the mass of nitrogen produced can be calculated as follows: **Calculation:** \[ \text{Mass of } N = \text{Number of moles} \times \text{Molar mass} = 0.1 \, \text{mol} \times 28 \, \text{g/mol} = 2.8 \, \text{g} \] ### Step 3: Analyze the second oxide of nitrogen We are given: - Mass of the second oxide of nitrogen = 60 g - Volume of nitrogen produced = 22.4 L **Calculation:** \[ \text{Number of moles of } N_2 = \frac{22.4 \, \text{L}}{22.4 \, \text{L/mol}} = 1 \, \text{mol} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the mass of nitrogen in the second oxide Using the molar mass of nitrogen again, we can find the mass of nitrogen produced: **Calculation:** \[ \text{Mass of } N = 1 \, \text{mol} \times 28 \, \text{g/mol} = 28 \, \text{g} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the mass of oxygen in both oxides **For the first oxide:** - Total mass of the first oxide = 4.4 g - Mass of nitrogen = 2.8 g - Mass of oxygen = Total mass - Mass of nitrogen = 4.4 g - 2.8 g = 1.6 g **For the second oxide:** - Total mass of the second oxide = 60 g - Mass of nitrogen = 28 g - Mass of oxygen = Total mass - Mass of nitrogen = 60 g - 28 g = 32 g ### Step 6: Determine the ratio of the masses of oxygen Now we can compare the masses of oxygen in both oxides: - Mass of oxygen in the first oxide = 1.6 g - Mass of oxygen in the second oxide = 32 g To find the ratio of the masses of oxygen, we can set up the following: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{1.6 \, \text{g}}{32 \, \text{g}} = \frac{1}{20} \] ### Step 7: Conclusion According to the law of multiple proportions, when two elements form different compounds, the ratios of the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element can be expressed in small whole numbers. Here, we see that the ratio of the masses of oxygen in the two oxides is 1:20, which illustrates the law of multiple proportions. ### Final Answer The data illustrates the **Law of Multiple Proportions**. ---

To solve the problem step-by-step, we will analyze the data provided for the two oxides of nitrogen and determine which law is illustrated by the given information. ### Step 1: Analyze the first oxide of nitrogen We are given: - Mass of the first oxide of nitrogen = 4.4 g - Volume of nitrogen produced = 2.24 L At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L. Therefore, we can calculate the number of moles of nitrogen produced. ...
