To show that the data illustrates the law of multiple proportions, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Law of Multiple Proportions The law of multiple proportions states that when two elements can form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers. ### Step 2: Determine the Percentage Composition of Each Compound We have two compounds of hydrogen and oxygen with the following hydrogen percentages: - Compound 1: 5.93% hydrogen ...

Hydrogen and oxygen combine to form two compounds, water and hydrogen peroxide. If the percentage of oxygen is 88.89 in water and 94.12 in hydrogen peroxide, show that the data support law of multiple proportions.

This law was proposed by Dalton in 1803 . According to this law , if two elements combune to form more than one compounds ,the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element, are in the ratio of small whole number. For exemple, hydrogen combines with oxygen to form two compounds ,namely, water and hydrogen peroxide. Here, the masses of oxygen (i.e, 16g and 32g) which combine with a fixed mass of hydrogen (2g) bear a simple raio, i.e, 16 :32 or 1 :2 . An element forms two oxides .In one oxide ,one gram of the oxide containd 0.5g of the element. In another oxide, 4g of the oxide contains 0.8g of the element . Show that these data confirm the law of multiple proportion.

This law was given by, a French chemist , Joseph Proust. He stated that a given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by weight. Proust worked with two samples of curpic carbonate- one of which was of natural origin and the other was synthetic one . He found that the composition of elements present in it was for both the samples as shown below: Thus, irrespective of the source, a given compound always contains same elements in the same proportion. The validity of this law has been confrmed by various experiments. It is sometimes also reffered to as Law of constant composition. Limitation: This law is not applicable if the compound is formed from different isotopes of an element . The two isotopes of carbon C-12 and C-14 form carbondioxide C^(12)O_(2) and C^(14)O_(2) . The ratio of C : O is 12 : 32 and 14 : 32 respectively .It is not a constant ratio. 6.488 g lead with 1.002 g oxygen to form an oxide. This oxide is also obtained by heating Pb(NO_(3))_(2) , It is found that % of lead in this oxide is 86.62 .Show that these date illustrate the law of definite proportions.

On analysis it was found that the black oxide of copper and red oxide of copper contain 80% and 89% of copper respectively. Show that this data is in accordance with law of multiple proportions.
