The law of multiple proportions was proposed by John Dalton in 1804; today this law has not a general validity.
Well definite is broad and multiple is more exact that's about what I can think of
The Law of Multiple Proportions was developed by John Dalton based on the Law of Definite Proportions, was part of what laid the groundwork for his atomic theory, and for the basis of chemical formulas for compounds.English chemist John Dalton

The law of multiple proportions was proposed by John Dalton in the early 19th century. It states that when elements combine to form compounds, the ratio of masses of one element that combines with a fixed mass of the other element can be expressed in small whole numbers.

The laws of chemical combination are fundamental principles that govern the relationships between the quantities of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. The three main laws are the law of conservation of mass, the law of definite proportions, and the law of multiple proportions. The law of conservation of mass states that mass is conserved in a chemical reaction, meaning that the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products. The law of definite proportions states that a compound always contains the same proportions of elements by mass. The law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine to form multiple compounds, the mass ratios of the elements in the compounds are always in whole-number ratios.
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.
The law of multiple proportions can be partly explained by the idea that whole atoms of the same element combined to form compounds. Examples of the law of multiple proportions are CO and CO2.
Hydrazine and ammonia are composed of the same elements but have different chemical and empirical formulas. Ammonia is NH3, Hydrazine is N2H4 they have the same elements but in a different ratio.
