To show that the data from the two samples of common salt are in accordance with the law of constant proportion, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Law of Constant Proportion The law of constant proportion states that a given compound always contains the same elements in the same proportion by mass, regardless of its source. For our case, we need to show that the percentage of chlorine in both samples of salt is the same. ### Step 2: Analyze the First Sample In the first sample, the percentage of chlorine is given as: - Percentage of Chlorine = 60.75% ...
