Three oxides of lead on analysis were found to contain lead as under:(i) 3.45 g of yellow oxide contains 3.21 g of lead. (ii) 1.195 g of brown oxide contains 1.035 g of lead. (iii) 1.77 g of red oxide contains 1.61 g of lead. Show that these data illustrate law of multiple proportions.
Ques: Three oxides of lead on analysis were found to contain lead as under:
(i) 3.45 g of yellow oxide contains 3.21 g of lead.
(ii) 1.195 g of brown oxide contains 1.035 g of lead.
(iii) 1.77 g of red oxide contains 1.61 g of lead. Show that these data illustrate law of multiple proportions.
Ans: The amounts of lead and oxygen in three oxides are :
(i) Yellow oxide : Mass of lead = 3.21 g
Mass of oxygen = 3.45 - 3.21
= 0.24 g
(ii) Brown oxide : Mass of lead = 1.035 g
Mass of oxygen = 1.195 - 1.035
= 0.160 g
(iii) Red oxide: Mass of lead = 1.61 g
Mass of oxygen = 1.77 – 1.61
= 0.16 g
Let us fix the mass of lead as 1 g and calculate the different weights of oxygen which combine with 1 g of lead in these oxides.
(i) Yellow oxide
Mass of oxygen which combines with 3.21 g of lead = 0.24 g
Mass of oxygen which combines with 1 g of lead = 0.24 / 3.21= 0.075 g
(i i) Brown oxide
Mass of oxygen which combines with 1.035 g of lead = 0.160 g
Mass of oxygen which combines with 1 g of lead = 0.160 / 1.035 = 0.15 g
(i i i) Red oxide
Mass of oxygen which combines with 1.61 g of lead = 0.16 g
Mass of oxygen which combines with 1 of lead = 0.16 / 1.61 = 0.10 g (IITIAN)
The ratio of different masses of oxygen which combine with same mass of lead (1 g) in these oxides is :
0.075 : 0.15 : 0.10
3 : 6 : 4
This is a simple ratio.
Hence, the data illustrate the law of multiple proportions.
