Consider 100.0 g samples of two different compounds consisting only of vanadium and oxygen. one compound contains 61.4 g of vanadium and the other has 76.1 g of vanadium. find the ratio:

2:1

Explanation:

The Law of Multiple Proportions states that when two elements A and B combine to form two or more compounds, the masses of B that combine with a given mass of A are in the ratios of small whole numbers.

That is, if one compound has a ratio r₁ and the other has a ratio r₂, the ratio of the ratios r is in small whole numbers.

1. Compound 1

Mass of O = 100.0 - 61.4 = 38.6 g

2. Compound 2

Mass of O = 100.0 - 76.1 = 23.9 g

3. Ratio of the ratios

For example. the compounds might be VO₂ and VO.

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
