A box contains some identical red coloured balls, labelled as A, each weighing 2 grams. Another box contains identical blue coloured balls, labelled as B, each weighing 5 grams. Consider the combinations AB, AB2, A2B and A2B3 and show that Law of multiple proportions is applicable.
Applying the Law of multiple proportions
For the combination, AB
1 g of A combines with
For AB2
1 g of A combines
For A2B
1 g of A combines with
For A2B2
1 g of A combines with
Thus, it is proved that Law of multiple proportions is applicable.
