copper forms two oxides. On heating 1 g of each in hydrogen 0.888 g and 0.798 g of the metal was obtained. Show that the results are in agreement with the law of multiple proportions.​

Answer:

For the first oxide, 1 g gives 0.888 g of copper.

Dividing by 0.888 tells us that 1.126 g gives 1 g of copper so has 0.126 g of oxygen.

For the second oxide, 1 g gives 0.798 g of copper.

Dividing by 0.798 tells us that 1.253 g gives 1 g of copper so has 0.253 g of oxygen.

So 1 g of copper combines with either 0.126 g or 0.253 g of oxygen.

Within the limits of experimental error, 0.253 is twice 0.126, confirming the law of multiple proportion.
