John Dalton
In was in 1799 that Joseph Proust discovered the law of definite proportions, or Proust's Law. Proust was a French chemist.
He discovered that the phlogiston theory was incorrect, and recognized and named oxygen and hydrogen. He accepted that sulfur is an element, had contributions to metric system, established a list of chemical elements, discovered that diamond is a form of carbon, discovered that water is formed from oxygen and hydrogen, etc.He proposed independently (he had any knowledge of Lomonosov works) the law of mass conservation.Joseph Proust is credited with the discovery of the Law of definite proportions.
He combined elements such as iron and copper with oxygen, based off the reaction he found that oxygen's composition was always one of two.
The law you are referring to is the Law of Definite Proportions. This law states that a chemical compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions by mass, regardless of the source of the compound.
yes it is .. also called prousts law
The law of definite proportions was developed by Joseph Proust in 1806.
For example the law of definite proportions.
Dalton\'s principle of compounds supports the law of definite proportions.
Yes, a mixture does not obey the law of definite composition. Mixtures can have varying proportions of different substances, whereas compounds, which obey the law of definite composition, have a fixed ratio of elements.
Yes, after the Law of definite proportions; but now it is clear that this law is not applicable to all known chemical compounds.
Well definite is broad and multiple is more exact that's about what I can think of
Law of definite proportion or law of definite composition.
