Question
In one compound of nitrogen and oxygen, $0.615$ grams of nitrogen combines with $0.703$ grams of oxygen. In another $1.27$ grams of nitrogen combines with $2.90$ grams of oxygen. Show how these data illustrate the law of multiple proportions.
Step 1
This can be done by dividing the mass of oxygen by the mass of nitrogen. \[ \frac{0.703}{0.615} = 1.14 \] Show more…

Two different compounds containing only nitrogen and oxygen have the following mass ratios: 1.000 g nitrogen : 2.856 g oxygen 0.4378 g nitrogen : 1.000 g oxygen. Determine if these two compounds fulfill the law of multiple proportions.
Hydrazine, ammonia, and hydrogen azide all contain only nitrogen and hydrogen. The mass of hydrogen that combines with $1.00 \mathrm{g}$ of nitrogen for each compound is $1.44 \times$ $10^{-1} \mathrm{g}, 2.16 \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{g},$ and $2.40 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{g},$ respectively. Show how these data illustrate the law of multiple proportions.
