Please explain the law of reciprocal proportion with an example?
1 Answer
Here's my explanation.
Explanation:
The law of reciprocal proportions states that, "If two different elements combine separately with a fixed mass of a third element, the ratio of the masses in which they do so are either the same as or a simple multiple of the ratio of the masses in which they combine with each other".
Although this law may seem complicated, it is fairly easy to understand with an example.
For example, 3 g of
Also, 8 g of
The mass ratio of
In the same way, 12 g of
The mass ratio of
The mass ratio in which
Similarly, 12 g of
Here, the mass ratio of
The mass ratio in which they separately react with a fixed mass of
The ratio of the two ratios is
Here, the ratio in which
