Options
- AThe ratio of oxygen in H 2 O and H 2 O 2 with respect to fixed mass of Hydrogen atom is a whole number
- B% of oxygen in H 2 O is constant irrespective of the source
- CEqual volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure should contain equal number of molecules
- DMatter can neither be created nor destroyed.
Correct answer
B. % of oxygen in H 2 O is constant irrespective of the source
Step-by-step solution
Law of definite proportions, statement that every chemical compound contains fixed and constant proportions (by mass) of its constituent elements. % of oxygen in H 2 O is constant irrespective of the source is according to law of definite proportions The ratio of oxygen in H 2 O and H 2 O 2 with respect to fixed mass of Hydrogen atom is a whole number is according to law of multiple proportions. Equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure should contain equal number of molecules is according to a
