(4) Law of Multiple Proportions
When two elements (call them A and B) form two different compounds, the masses of
element B that combine with 1 g of element A can be expressed as a ratio of small whole
numbers.
• Result: Mass ratios are small, whole-number multiples of each other
Exercise: Nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide are both gases that contain only
nitrogen and oxygen. A sample of nitrogen monoxide contains 1.00 g of N and 1.14 g
of O. A sample of nitrogen dioxide contains 1.00 g of N and 2.28 g of O. Show that
the two obey the law of multiple proportions.
