45.4L of dinitrogen reacted with 22.7L of dioxygen and 45.4 L of nitrous oxide was formed the reaction is given below
`2N_(2)(g)+O_(2)(g)rarr2N_(2)O(g)`
Which law is being obeyed in this experiment? Write the statement of the law?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Gases are reacting together to form gaseous products. Ratio of volumes of gases :
`N_(2):O_(2) : N_(2)O = 45.4 : 22.7 : 45.4 = 2:1:2`
which is a simple whole number ratio. Hence the experiment proves Gay Lussac’s law of gaseous volumes. This law states that gases combine or are produced in a chemical reaction in a simple whole number ratio by volume provided that all gases are at the same temperature and pressure.
