So the law of multiple proportions, so law of multiple proportions, this states that when two or more elements, we'll call them x and y, combine to form more than one compound.
00:22
So for example, if we have x, y, 2, and then x2y, if they form more than one compound, then the ratio of the weights of the element, combine with a fixed weight of the other element will be whole numbers.

So an example of this to make a little more sense, if you have n and o, nitrogen and oxygen, this forms five compounds.
00:53
In all of the compounds, if we have 14 grams of nitrogen, then we'll have 8, 16, 24, 32, and 40 grams, grams of oxygen.
01:10
So all these numbers are in grams of oxygen for 14 grams of nitrogen...
