Law of Multiple Proportions. Two elements, R and Q, combine to form two binary compounds. In the first compound, 14.0 g of R combines with 3.00 g of Q. In the second compound, 7.00 g of R combines with 4.50 g of Q. Show that these data are in accord with the law of multiple proportions. If the formula of the second compound is RQ, what is the formula of the first compound?arrow_forward
- A 8.63 g sample of calcium sulfide was decomposed into its constituent elements, producing 4.80 g of calcium and 3.83 g of sulfur. Which of the statements are consistent with the law of constant composition (definite proportions)? The mass percentage of calcium plus the mass percentage of sulfur in every sample of calcium sulfide equals 100%. The mass ratio of Ca to S in every sample of calcium sulfide is 1.25. Every sample of calcium sulfide will be 55.6% by mass calcium. The mass ratio of S to Ca will vary based on how the sample was prepared. A different 8.63 g sample of calcium sulfide will contain a different amount of calcium.arrow_forwardThe average atomic mass of copper is 63.546 amu. It is composed of copper-63 and copper-65 isotopes. The natural abundance of copper-63 (62.9296 amu) is 69.17%.
