Solution

% of Hydrogen in H2O2 = 5.93

% of Oxygen in H2O2 = 100-5.93 = 94.07

% of Hydrogen in H2O = 11.2

% of Oxygen in H2O = 100-11.2 = 88.8

In H2O2

H : O = 5.93 : 94.07

H : O = 1 : 16

In H2O

H : O = 11.2 : 88.8

H : O = 1 : 8

Ratio of oxygen in H2O2 and H2O2 = 8 : 16 = 1 : 2.

Since the ratio is a whole number the data represents law of multiple proportion.
