The statement "Any given compound has a fixed proportion by mass of its constituents" is related to the.
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.
