Formation of CO and `CO_(2)` illustrates the law of

A

reciprocal proportions

B

multiple proportions

C

conservation of mass

D

constant composition

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In carbon monoxide 12 parts by welght of carbon reacts with16 parts by weight of oxygen. In carbon dioxide 12 parts by weight of carbon reacts with 32 parts by welght of oxygen. Ratio of the weight of oxygen which reacts with a fixed weight of carbon (12 parts) in these oxicles is 16:32 which is a simple whole number (1:2) ratio.
Thus, the formatlon of CO and `CO_(2)` Illustrats the law of multiple proportions.
