Question

Two samples A and B of chloride of
gold contains 15.1% and 35.1% chloride
respectively show that these figures are
in agreement with the law of multiple
proportion [Au=197, cl-35.5)

Answer 1

The composition of the atoms in the compounds are in simple ratio to each other, they obey the law of multiple proportion.

From the information provided in the question;

A contains 15.1% of Cl and  84.9% of Au

So;

84.9% / 15.1% = 5.6 g

There is 5.6 g of Au per gram of Cl

Also;

B contains 35.1% of Cl and  64.9% of Au

So;

64.9%/35.1%  = 1.8 g

There is 1.8 g of Au per gram of Cl

Hence;

5.4/1.8,  1.8/1.8

3 : 1

Since the composition of the atoms in the compounds are in simple ratio to each other, they obey the law of multiple proportion.
