Question
Chapter 3.4, Problem 26SSC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The way the law of definite proportions applies to compounds is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The compound is made up of two or more than two elements in the same proportions by mass; where the mass of both elements participates to form compounded mass. The ratio is different for different compounds but the proportions by mass fixed.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 26SSC
The mass of compounds is determined by the law of definite proportion.
Explanation of Solution
A chemical compound is always made up of the fixed same proportion of elements by mass.
“The law of definite proportions” defines the mass composition of a substance.
For example: a sodium chloride compound is composed of one atom of sodium and one atom of chlorine. So, there are fixed proportions of sodium and chlorine to form a compound (sodium chloride).
Conclusion
By applying the law of definite proportions, the compound formation is fixed in the ratio/ and fixed molecular formula.

- Reagan is doing an atomic absorption experiment that requires a set of zinc standards in the 0.4-1.6 ppm range. A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer. a.
