TOPIC: Laws of Chemical Combination Prepared by: Manisha Sareen

1. Irrespective of the source, pure sample of water always yields 88.89% mass of
oxygen and 11.11% mass of hydrogen. This is explained by the law of
a. Conservation of mass
b. Constant composition
c. Multiple proportions
d. Constant volume

2. Two samples of lead oxide were separately reduced to metallic lead by heating in a
current of hydrogen. The weight of lead from one oxide was half the weight of lead
obtained from the other oxide. The data illustrates
a. Law of reciprocal proportions
b. Law of constant proportions
c. Law of multiple proportions
d. Law of equivalent proportions

3. Carbon and oxygen combine to form two oxides, carbon monoxide and carbon
dioxide in which the ratio of the weights of carbon and oxygen is respectively 12 : 16
and 12 : 32. These figures illustrate the
a. Law of multiple proportions
b. Law of reciprocal proportions
c. Law of conservation of mass
d. Law of constant proportions

4. The law of multiple proportions is illustrated by the two compounds

a. Sodium chloride and sodium bromide
b. Ordinary water and heavy water
c. Caustic soda and caustic potash
d. Sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide

5. One sample of atmospheric air is found to have 0.03% of carbon dioxide and another
sample 0.04%. this is evidence that
a. The law of constant composition is not always true
b. The law of multiple proportions is true
c. Air is a compound
d. Air is a mixture

6. Two elements X and Y have atomic weights of 14 and 16. They form a series of
compounds A, B, C, D and E in which the same amount of element X, Y is present in
the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5. If the compound A has 28 parts by weight of X and 16 parts
by weight of Y, then the compound of C will have 28 parts weight of X and
a. 32 parts by weight of Y
b. 48 parts by weight of Y

 c. 64 parts by weight of Y
d. 80 parts by weight of Y
7. The percentage of copper and oxygen in samples of CuO obtained by different
methods were found to be the same. This illustrates the law of
a. Constant proportions
b. Conservation of mass
c. Multiple proportions
d. Reciprocal proportions

8. Chemical equation is balanced according to the law of

a. Multiple proportion
b. Reciprocal proportion
c. Conservation of mass
d. Definite proportions

9. If 1 L of O2 at 15oC and 750 mm pressure contains N molecules, the number of

molecules in 2 L of SO2 under the same conditions of temperature and pressure will
be:
a. N/2
b. N
c. 2N
d. 4N

10. The number of molecules in 1 L of oxygen and 1 L of nitrogen at STP will be:
a. Equal
b. Greater for N2
c. Greater for O2
d. Equal to Avogadro’s number

11. 45.4 L of dinitrogen reacted with 22.7 L of dioxygen and 45.4 L of nitrous oxide was
formed. The reaction is given below:
2N2(g) + O2(g) → 2N2O(g)
Which law is being obeyed in this experiment? Write the statement of the law?

12. A box contains some identical red coloured balls, labelled as A, each weighing 2
grams. Another box contains identical blue coloured balls, labelled as B, each
weighing 5 grams. Consider the combinations AB, AB2, A2B and A2B3and show
that law of multiple proportions is applicable.

13. Carbon and oxygen are known to form two compounds. The carbon content in one of
these is 42.9% while in the other it is 27.3%. Show that this data is in agreement with
the law of multiple proportions.

14. 6.488 g of lead combine directly with 1.002 g of oxygen to form lead peroxide. Lead
peroxide is also produced by heating lead nitrate and it was found that the percentage
of oxygen present in lead peroxide is 13.38 percent. Use these data to illustrate the
law of constant composition.

15. Two oxides of a metal contain 27.6% and 30% of oxygen respectively. If the
formula of the first oxide is M3O4, find that of the second.
