Question

Two compounds of mercury and chlorine are mercury(I) chloride and mercury(II) chloride. The amount of mercury(I) chloride that contains $71 \mathrm{g}$ of chlorine has $402 \mathrm{g}$ of mercury; the amount of mercury(II) chloride that has 71 g of chlorine has 201 g of mercury. Show how the Law of Multiple Proportions is illustrated by these quantities.
