Answer» This law which was proposed by Ritcher (1792) states that “when two elements combine separately with a fixed mass of the third element then the ratio of their masses in which they do so is either the same or some whole number multiple of the ratio in which they combine with each other”.For example Carbon, Sulphur and Oxygen form CO2, SO2, and CS2. In 12 parts by mass of carbon combine with 32 parts by mass of oxygen while in SO232 parts by mass of Sulphur combine with 32 parts by mass of oxygen. The ratio of masses of carbon and sulphur which combine with a fixed mass of oxygen is 12: 32 or 3: 8. |
