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 experimental data are in accordance with

A

law of conservation of mass

B

law of definite proportions

C

law of reciprocal proportions

D

law of multiple proportions.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Percentage of carbon in sample 1
` = ( 1.2 )/( 1.2 +3.2 ) xx 100 = 27.3 %`
Percentage of oxygen in sample `1 = (3.2 )/(12+3.2) xx 100 =72.7 %` Both samples have same percentage composition hence it illustrates law of definite proportions.
