Answer to Question #176237 in General Chemistry for daniel alemu

Question

show that compounds N₂O, NO, N₂O₃,NO₂ and N₂O₅ illustrate the law of multiple proportions?

Answer 1

The law of multiple proportion displays that when 2 elements combine with each other forming 2 or more chemical compound then different amount of 1 element which react with definite amount of second element are in whole number ratios.

Therefore, we fix the mass of either O or N element theafter you find that the mass of second element is also get in the simplest whole number ratios and hence this law is illustrated.
