Definite proportions, also known as the law of definite proportions, states that a chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio by mass, regardless of the amount or source of the compound. For example, water (H₂O) is always composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom, resulting in a consistent mass ratio of approximately 1:8. This principle is fundamental in chemistry, as it supports the idea that compounds have specific formulas and compositions.
What else can I help you with?
When geologist say that a mineral always contains certain elements in the definite proportions they mean that the mineral has a definite?
A chemical formula.
Does The Law of Definite Proportions state that substances combine in predictable proportions and that excess reactants remain unchanged?
The Law of Definite Proportions states that chemical compounds always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass. It does not specifically address what happens to excess reactants in a chemical reaction.
What are two or more different atoms are combined in definite proportions in any?
compound
What is the chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions?
This is a chemical compound.
Who discovered 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.
When was the law of definite proportions developed?
The law of definite proportions was developed by Joseph Proust in 1806.
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?
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.
Which of Dalton's four principles support law of definite proportions?
Dalton\'s principle of compounds supports the law of definite proportions.
1 Differentiate between The Law of Definite Proportions and The Law of Multiple Proportions?
Well definite is broad and multiple is more exact that's about what I can think of
How are compounds diffident from mixtures?
Compounds are composed of atoms of different elements chemically bonded in definite proportions. The components of mixtures are not chemically combined and they do not have definite proportions.
Who developed the law of Definite Proportions?
Joseph Proust
What year did Joseph Proust make the law of definite proportions?
In was in 1799 that Joseph Proust discovered the law of definite proportions, or Proust's Law. Proust was a French chemist.
The law of definite proportions states that a compound always contains the same elemtents in the smae proportions?
true
State the law of definite proportions?
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.
A combination of two or more elements in definite proportions?
compounds
Does a mineral contains certain elements in definite proportions?
Yes
What is the name of the chemical law?
For example the law of definite proportions.
