COMEDK2024ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Nitrogen forms five stable oxides with oxygen of the formula N ₂ O , NO , N ₂ O ₃, ~N ₂ O ₄ and N ₂ O ₅ . The formation of these oxides explains fully the
Options
- Alaw of definite proportion.
- Blaw of partial pressure.
- Claw of multiple proportion.
- Dlaw of reciprocal proportion.
Correct answer
C. law of multiple proportion.
Step-by-step solution
The weight of oxygen which combine with the fixed weight of nitrogen (=28 ~g ) in N ₂ O , NO , N ₂ O ₃ , N ₂ O ₄ and N ₂ O ₅ are 16,32,48,64,80 ~g respectively. They are in the ratio 1: 2: 3: 4: 5 . This proves the law of multiple proportion.
