Chapter 2.1, Problem 1RC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given compounds either obeys the law of multiple proportion or not has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Law of multiple proportions:

According to this law, two elements combines together to form more than one compounds and the mass of one element combine with another element has fixed mass are in rations of small whole number.

Dalton’s theory of law of multiple proportions:

Different compounds made up of same element with different number of atoms.  For example, the compounds Carbon monoxide and Carbon dioxide made up of same elements however different number of atoms.  Modern measurement technique shows that one atom of carbon combines with one atom of oxygen in carbon monoxide and one atom of carbon combines with two atoms of oxygen in carbon dioxide.  Thus the ratio of oxygen in Carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide is 1:2, this result is consistent with ‘law of multiple proportions’.
