(D) law of gaseous volumes

\(\underset{2L}{H_2(g)}+\underset{2L}{O_2(g)}\longrightarrow \underset{2L}{H_2O(g)}\)

Gay-Lussac's states that "At same temperature and pressure, when gases combine or produced in a chemical reaction, they do so in a simple ratio by volume.

Here, \(H_2\)\(O_2\) and \(H_2O(g)\) are in 2 : 1: 2 simple volume ratio.

Therefore, it follow "Law of gaseous volumes"
