Solution
The correct option is
D
Law of multiple proportion
In compound
1
.
There are
57.1
g
of
O
and
42.9
g
of
C
.
The mass of
O
per gram
C
is
57.1
42.9
=
1.33
g
O
per gram of
C
⟶
(
i
)
In compound
2
,
There are
72.7
g
of
O
and
27.3
g
of
C
.
∴
The mass of
O
per gram of
C
=
2.66
1.33
=
2
g
O
per gram of
C

i.e. The masses of oxygen that combine with carbon are in a
2
:
