Question:
State Law of constant proportions. Explain with an example.
Answer:
In a chemical substance the elements are always present in definite proportions by
mass, no matter how that chemical compound is prepared.
Example: Water always contains Hydrogen and Oxygen in the same proportion i.e. the ratio of
the mass of hydrogen to the mass of oxygen is always 1:8, whatever the source of water. Whether water comes from melting of ice or by condensation of steam (physical changes) or by it is produced through chemical reactions.
