Think of it in terms of a scientist performing a lab experiment. He/she will need to know the specific amounts of substance required to obtain the desired reaction. The law is fundamental for stoichiometry operations.

Is it true that a chemical has a definite composition?
Yes, after the Law of definite proportions; but now it is clear that this law is not applicable to all known chemical compounds.
What is the difference between law of conservation of mass and law of definite composition?
Well the difference is, TRIANGLE IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING!
Why is the law of definite proportion important.?
In chemistry, the law of definite proportions, sometimes called Proust's Law, states that a chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass. An equivalent statement is the law of constant composition, which states that all samples of a given chemical compound have the same elemental composition by mass. For example, oxygen makes up about 8/9 of the mass of any sample of pure water, while hydrogen makes up the remaining 1/9 of the mass. Along with the law of multiple proportions, the law of definite proportions forms the basis of stoichiometry.
How is the Law of definite composition and proportion relate to the empirical formula?
empirical formula is the simple whole number ratio of the components.
What do you call a material with definite properties and definite chemical composition?
Atom
What is the law that states that a chemical compound always contains the same elements in exactly the same proportions by w eight and mass?
Law of definite proportion, sometimes also called the law of constant composition.
Is the law of definite composition the same as the law of definite proportion?
yes it is .. also called prousts law
What is the chemical equation of the law of definite composition?
This law hasn't a chemical equation !
Does a mixture obey the law of definite composition?
yes it dose.
Is it true that a chemical has a definite composition?
Yes, after the Law of definite proportions; but now it is clear that this law is not applicable to all known chemical compounds.
What theory states that a given compound will always contain exactly the same proportion of elements by weight?
Law of definite proportion or law of definite composition.
Examples of the law of definite composition?
formation of water and hydrogen peroxide , carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are the big examples of law of definite proportion
What is the difference between law of conservation of mass and law of definite composition?
Well the difference is, TRIANGLE IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING!
Is the law of definite proportions says that the composition of a compound always the same?
always the same
What you mean by nonstoichiometry?
The chemical composition of nonstoichiometric compounds do not respect the law of definite proportions.
Why is the chemical composition of a mineral important?
it means a naturally-occaring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition
Is the law of definite composition applicable to compounds only?
This law is not valid for all chemical compounds (ex. nonstoichiometric compounds).
