The statement "Any given compound has a fixed proportion by mass of its constituents" is related to the. Correct Answer First law of Dalton's atomic theory

CONCEPT:

Dalton's atomic theory:

  • The scientific ‘Atomic Theory’ is usually credited to John Dalton.
  • He proposed the atomic theory to explain the laws of definite and multiple proportions obeyed by elements when they combine into compounds.
    • The first law says that any given compound has, a fixed proportion by mass of its constituents.
    • The second law says that when two elements form more than one compound, for a fixed mass of one element, the masses of the other elements are in ratio of small integers.
  • To explain the laws Dalton suggested, about 200 years ago, that the smallest constituents of an element are atoms.
  • Atoms of one element are identical but differ from those of other elements. A small number of atoms of each element combine to form a molecule of the compound.

Avogadro’s law (or hypothesis) says:

  • According to this law equal volumes of all gases at equal temperature and pressure have the same number of molecules.

EXPLANATION:

  • The first law of Dalton's atomic theory says that any given compound has, a fixed proportion by mass of its constituents. Hence, option 1 is correct.

In this question, a passage and a related statement have been given. Read the passage carefully and assess the statement based on it. Using knives and screws, two Russian astronauts on Tuesday took a sample of substance around a mysterious cavity of the spacecraft called the Soyuz, which was placed in the International Space Station, a Moscow official suggested that it was a break - It can also be done. In August, two months after the last visit of the vehicle, the air leak was detected in the Soyuz spacecraft due to the 2 mm air in the ISS. Roskosmos, an astronomical institute, says that cutting off the insulation on the hole and sampling the material around it and the purpose of putting a new insulation on it is to find out that this small but dangerous hole has been done on earth or Is in space. The chief of Roskosmos has said that the error of manufacturing has not been found in the investigation. Experienced astronauts had to struggle but they managed their mission. Before the spacewalk, astronauts were able to inspect the hole just from within the spacecraft. The biggest difficulty was that in the Soyuz spacecraft, the ISS was not designed to improve during adverse weather space, and no railing was also made to catch the space passengers outside the vehicle. Statement: The mysterious hole in the So yuz spacecraft was due to the error of manufacturing. Select the appropriate from the given options A - Statement is completely true B - The statement is possibly true C - the statement can not be determined D - Statement is completely false
