2,75 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating in a current of hydrogen and the weight of copper that remained was 2.196 g. Another experiment, 2.358 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate converted into cupric oxide by ignition. The weight of cupric oxide formed was 2.952 g. Show that these results illustrate law of constant composition.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In both cases percentage of oxygen is the same, so the law of constant composition is illustrated.

1.375 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating in a current of hydrogen and the weight of copper that remained was 1.098 g In another experiment, 1.179 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate converted into cupric oxide by ignition. The weight of cupric oxide formed was 1.476 g . Show that these result illustrate the law of constant composition.

In an experiment, 4.90 g of copper oxide was obtained from 3.92 g of copper. In another experiment, 4.55 g of copper oxide gave, on reduction, 3.64 g of copper. Show with the help of calculation that these figures verify the law of constant proportions.
