The chemical formula of the compound (e.g., H2O for water) and the molar masses of the elements present in the compound are needed to determine the ratio of elements. The molar masses are required to calculate the molar ratios of the elements in the compound.
The chemical formula of the compound shows the ratio of the atoms of elements in a compound. This must not be confused with the ratio of their masses.
The law of constant proportion states that a pure chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.This information, together with the atomic masses of the elements in the compound enable scientists to determine the formula of a compound.
To calculate the molar mass of a compound, you add up the atomic masses of all the elements in the compound as indicated by its chemical formula. The atomic masses can be found on the periodic table.

The law of definite proportions states that a compound always contains the same elements in the same proportion by mass, regardless of the source of the compound. This means that for a given compound, the ratio of the masses of the elements is always constant.
No, elements in a compound are not always present in the same proportions. The ratio of elements in a compound is determined by its chemical formula.
A given compound is always made of the same elements in the same proportion.
No, compounds and elements are not always solids. For example, hydrogen is a gas.
