A metal forms two oxides. The higher oxide contains `80 %` metal. `0.72 g` of the lower oxide have `0.8 g` of higher oxide when oxidised. Show that the data illustrates the law of Multiple Proportions.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the higher oxide :
Weight of metal `= ((0.8g)xx80)/(100)=0.64g`
Weight of oxygen `=0.80-0.64=0.16g`
In the lower oxide :
Weight of metal will remain the same as in the higher oxide and is `0.64 g`
`:.` Weight of oxygen `= 0.72 - 0.64 = 0.08g`
The ratio of weights of oxygen which combine with a fixed weight of metal `(0.64 g)` in the two oxides is :
`0.16 : 0.08 or 2:1`
Since the ratio is simple whole number in nature, the law Multiple proportions is illustrated.

A metal forms two oxides. The higher oxide contains 80% metal. 0.72 g of the lower oxide gave 0.8 g of higher oxide when oxidised. Calculate the weight of oxygen the combines with the fixed weight of metal in the two oxides, and show that the data supports the law of multiple proportines

metal combines with oxygen to form two oxides, having the following composition: (i) 0.398 g of the first metal oxide contains 0.318g of metal. (ii) 0.716 g of the second oxide contains 0.636g of the metal. Show that the above data agrees with the law of multiple proportions.

Three oxides of lead on analysis were found to contain lead as under: (i) 3.45 g of yellow oxide contains 3.21 g of lead. (ii) 1.195 g of brown oxide contains 1.035 g of lead. (iii) 1.77 g of red oxide contains 1.61 g of lead. Show that these data illustrate law of multiple proportions.

An element forms two oxides containing, respectively, 50% and 40% by weight of the element . Show that these oxides illustrate the law of multiple proportions.

Two oxide samples of lead were heated in the current of hydrogen and were reduced to the metallic lead. The following data were obtained (i) Weight of yellow oxide taken = 3.45 gm, Loss in weight in reduction = 0.24 gm (ii) Weight of brown oxide taken = 1.227 gm, Loss in weight in reduction = 0.16 gm. Show that the data illustrates the law of multiple proportion.

Copper gives two oxides. On heating 1.0 g of each in hydrogen gas, 0.888 g and 0.799 g of the metal are produced. Show that the results agree with the Law of Multiple Proportions.
