Question

Given a container of a solution of 5% HCl, all samples tested from this same bottle will have the same mass ratio of hydrogen to chlorine. This is an application ofQuestion options:A) the law of multiple proportions.B) the law of conservation of energy.C) the law of conservation of mass.D) the law of constant composition.

Answer 1

D) the law of constant composition.

Step-by-step explanation

According to the law of constant composition or definite proportion, which states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in a fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation.

So a container of a solution of 5% HCl, all samples tested from this same bottle will have the same mass ratio of hydrogen to chlorine is an application of the law of constant composition.

The correct answer is option D) the law of constant composition.
