हिन्दीHydrogen combines with oxygen to form two compounds, namely water and hydrogen peroxide. The masses of oxygen which combine with a fixed mass of hydrogen (\( 2 \text{ g} \)) are \( 16 \text{ g} \) and \( 32 \text{ g} \), respectively. This ratio (\( 16:32 = 1:2 \)) is an illustration of which law?
Correct answer · Option 3
Law of Multiple Proportions
Explanation
When two elements combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in a ratio of small whole numbers (Law of Multiple Proportions).
