Metal M and chlorine form two compounds with mass ratios 
of 
(compound A) and 
(compound B). What is the simplest whole-number ratio of the masses of 
that combine with the same mass of Cl in A and B?
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
For the same mass of Cl (1), the masses of M are 0.734 and 1.468 ; 
. This simple whole-number ratio is consistent with the law of multiple proportions.
