Complete question:
Element (X) forms different compounds with Element (Y)
Ex:
Compound 1: XY6 (2.82g)
Compound 2: XY? (1.41g)
Compound 3: XY? (0.94g)
Compound 1: 2.82/6 = 0.47
Compound 2: 1.41/0.47 = 2
Compound 3: 0.94/0.47 = 3
What Law is this?
Answer:
Law of Multiple Proportions
Explanation:
The Law of Multiple Proportions states that when two elements combine to form more than one compound, they do so in simple whole number ratios of their masses/weights.
