Question

The same scientist as above found that two samples of a mixture of the same elements had the elements mixed in different ratios. Was the finding correct this time?

Answer 1

Yes, this time the finding was correct. e.g. Air is considered as a mixture of various elements like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. Now, we take one sample of air from a normal residential area and another from a high peak mountain. It is sure that both the samples of the mixture(Air) won't contain the same elements in a similar ratio. It's because on high altitudes i.e. on mountains the level of oxygen in the air is very low as compared to a normal residential area. So, the ratio of oxygen with other elements will be different in both samples.

Hence, it is possible that two samples of a mixture of the same elements contain the elements, mixed in a different ratio.
