Question

During an experiment that was conducted at $300K$ and $1atm$, it was observed that $50L$ of Hydrogen gas reacts with $50L$ of Chlorine gas. Choose the correct statement that represent the above statement.

• A. Law of Conservation of Mass
• B. Law of Definite Proportions
• C. Gay Lussac's law of Equal Volumes
• D. Experimental Observation

Answer 1

The correct option is C Gay Lussac's law of Equal Volumes

Gay Lussac's states that, "The ratio between the volumes of gaseous reactants and products can be expressed in simple whole numbers."

For e.g. in the above reaction, the ratio of volume of Hydrogen, Chlorine and Hydrogen chloride is $1:1:2$ (a simple ratio)
