MCQ

The following data are obtained when dinitrogen and dioxygen react together to form different compounds

Mass of dinitrogen	Mass of dioxygen
$14\, g$	$16\, g$
$14\, g$	$32\, g$
$28\, g$	$32\, g$
$28\, g$	$80\, g$

Which law of chemical combination is obeyed by the above experimental data ?

A
Law of conservation of mass
B
Law of definite proportions
✓
Law of multiple proportions
D
Avogadro's Law

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

Law of multiple proportions

c
Fixing the mass of dinitrogen as $14\,g,$ the mass of dioxygen combined varies as $16,32 .$ The reactants are in the ration $1: 1$ and $1: 2,$ respectively and forms different compounds.

Similarly other ratio of the reactants are $2: 1,2: 5$ in case of fixing mass of $N_{2}$ as $28 \mathrm{g}$ and varing mass of $O_{2}$ as $32 \mathrm{g}$ and $80 \mathrm{g}$ respectively.

Here two elements combine to form more than one compound and the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element, are in the ratio of small whole numbers. Thus they follow the law of multiple proportions. thus option $C$ is correct.
