Answer» Law of conservatino of mass law of definite PROPORTIONS law of MULTIPLE proportions law of reciprocal proportions Solution : d) In `CO_(2)` Weight of `CO_(2)`= 100 Weight of carbon = 27.27 Weight of oxygen = 72.73 27.27 g of carbon combines with 72.73 g of oxygen 1 g of carbon combines with =`(72.73)/(27.27)` = 2.66` of oxygen `THEREFORE` Ratio of C and O in `CO_(2)` = 1:5.3` If SULPHUR and oxygen were to combine to form `SO_(2)`, according to law of reciprocal proportions. They MUST combine in `5.3:2.66` or `2:1`. In `SO_(2)`,the ratio of `S:O` is `1:1`. thus, the ratio betweente two ratios is `2/1:1/1` = `2:1` Since, the ratio of `S:O` is a simple whole numbers ratio, therefore law of reciprocal is proved.
