Carbon dioxide contains 27.27% of carbon, carbon disulphide contains 15.79% of carbon and sulphur dioxide contains 50% of sulphur. Are these figures in agreements with the law of reciprocal proportions? |
Answer» SOLUTION : `"1 g C will combine with S"=(84.21)/(15.79)=5.33g` `"1 g C will combine with O"=(72.73)/(27.27)=2.67g` `therefore` Ratio of MASSES of S and O which combine with fixed mass of carbon (viz 1 g) = `5.33:2.67=2:1.` Ratio of masses of S and O which combine directly with each other `=50:50=1:1`. Thus, the TWO RATIONS are SIMPLE multiple of each other. |
