Hydrogen, sulphur and oxygen gives , and .
This is according to the law of

Options

A. constant proportions
B. multiple proportions
C. reciprocal proportions
D. conservation of mass

Answer

C

Explanation

Ratio of hydrogen and sulphur in
`H_(2)S=2:32 = 1:16`
Ratio of `H_(2)` and oxygen In `H_(2)O =2:16=1:8`
Ratio of sulphur and oxygen in `SO_(2) = 32:32 =1:1`
`:.` This illustrates the law of reciprocal proportions.
