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.

2.0 gram of a metal burst in oxygen give 3.2 gram of its oxide. 1.42 gram of the same metal heat in steam give 2.27 gram of its oxide which toys shown by this data?
