Law of multiple proportions
The Attempt at a Solution
Carbon first:
4.61/0.39 = 11.82 C/H
Hydrogen
0.39/4.61 = 0.08 H/C
therefore 11.82/0.08 = 139.72 ~ 140
masses of carbon that combine with hydrogen are in a 140:1 ratio
Does this look right? Or have i just done the second part?
i have no idea what I am doing
Thanks for any help.
