Chapter 1, Problem 1.67SP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A sample of a compound containing
In case if the sample is not borane the law of multiple proportions is followed for borane and other substance has to be proven.
Concept Introduction:
Law of definite proportion or multiple proportion states that a chemical compound always contains its component elements in a fixed ratio by mass. It does neither depend on the source of the preparation nor depend on the method of preparation.
