Question

Which of the following stoichiometric laws suggests that different elements combine with each other by their equivalent weights ?

(a) law of definite proportion

(b) law of multiple proportion

(c) law of reciprocal proportion

(d) law of conservation of mass

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) law of reciprocal proportion

The law states that if two different elements combine separately with a fixed mass of a third element, the ratio of the masses in which they combine are either the same or are in simple multiple ratio of the masses in which they combine with each other.
