Answer» hydrogen and oxygen are two compound because The law of multiple proportion states that the masses of one element which combine with a fixed mass of the second element are in a ratio of whole numbers.The two compounds of H and O have a hydrogen content of 5.93% and 11.2%.Compound 1Hydrogen mass = 5.93%Oxygen mass = 100-5.93 = 94.07%The number of parts of O that combine with H = 94.07/5.93 = 15.86 partsCompound 2Hydrogen mass = 11.2%Oxygen mass = 100- 11.2 = 88.8%The number of parts of O that combine with H = 88.8/11.2 = 7.9 partsRatio of the masses of O that combine with fixed mass of H = 15.86: 7.9 = 2:1This is a whole number ratio as stated by Law of multiple proportion. |
