Question
Chapter 2, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the given compositions disprove Proust’s law of constant composition or not.
The compound carbon monoxide contains 42.9%, carbon and 57.1% oxygen. The compound carbon dioxide contains 27.3% carbon and 72.7% oxygen.
Concept Introduction:
The law of constant composition or the law of definite composition sometimes called Proust's law which explains that a chemical compound does not depend on its source and method of preparation but always comprises its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass).
