Two gaseous samples were analysed. One contained 1.2 g of carbon and 3.2 g of oxygen. The other contained 27.3% carbon and 72.7% oxygen. The experiemental data is an accordance with

A

Law of conservation of mass

B

Law of definite proportions

C

Law of reciprocal proportion

D

Law of multiple proportions

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

B

1.2g carbon - 3.2g oxygen
27.3g carbon - 72.7g oxygen
1.2 g carbon - `(1.2xx72.7)/(27,3)`
= 3.195g oxygen `~~` 3.2g oxygen
`implies 3.2:3.2=1:1`
