Cabon dioxide contains 27.27% carbon , carbon disulphide contains 15.97% carbon and sulphur dioxide contains 50% sulphur. Show that these figures illustrate the law of reciprocal proportions |
| Answer» SOLUTION :The MASSES of OXYGEN and sulphur which combine with PART of carbon are in the ratio of 2.667:5.25,i.e, 1:2, In sulphur dioxide, the masses of sulphur and oxygen are in the ratio of 1:1 which is a simple multiple of first. Hence, LAW of reciprocal proportions is illustrated. | |
