Iron forms two oxides, in first oxide `56` grams. Iron is found to be combined with `16` grams oxygen and in second oxide `112` grams iron is found to be combined with `48` grams oxygen. This data satisfy the law of
A. (a)Conservation of mass
B. (b)Reciprocal proportion
C. (c )Multiple proportion
D. (d)Combining volume
A. (a)Conservation of mass
B. (b)Reciprocal proportion
C. (c )Multiple proportion
D. (d)Combining volume
Correct Answer – C
For fix mass of Fe, i.e., `56` parts, the masses of oxygen in these two oxides are `16` and `48` respectively, simple ratio is `1:3` so it is law of multiple proportion
