45. The following data was collected for 3 compounds: Mass of Nitrogen that combines with 1 g of Oxygen
Compound A 1.750 g
Compound B 0.8750 g
Compound C 0.4375 g
Show whether these are the same or different compounds. What chemical law is being observed here?

The three compounds are different compounds

Explanation:

The mass of Nitrogen that combines with 1 gram of Oxygen in  Compound A = 1.750 g

The mass of Nitrogen that combines with 1 gram of Oxygen in  Compound B  = 0.8750 g

The mass of Nitrogen that combines with 1 gram of Oxygen in  Compound C  = 0.4375 g

According to the law of multiple proportions, when atoms of two different elements react to form compounds, the masses of one of the elements that combines with a fixed mass of the other element are in small whole number ratios.

The ratio of the masses are;

Mass of Nitrogen in Compound B/(Mass of Nitrogen in Compound C =  0.8750/0.4375 = 2

Mass of Nitrogen in Compound A/(Mass of Nitrogen in Compound C =  1.750/0.4375= 4

Mass of Nitrogen in Compound A/(Mass of Nitrogen in Compound B =  1.750/0.8750= 2

Given that the masses of Nitrogen in the three compounds are in small whole number ratios, the three compounds, Compound A, Compound B, and Compound C are different compounds.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
