Question

Joseph Proust showed that when elements combine to form new substances, they do so in specific mass ratios.a) trueb) false

Answer 1

Answer: option A) True

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph Proust is the founder of the Law of Definite proportion. This law states that two elements will always combine together to form a chemical compound and this will be in the same proportion by mass.

For Example: 2 moles of Hydrogen (H2) ALWAYS combine with 1 atom of Oxygen (O) to yield water (H2O)

So, the answer is True
