	Chemistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, mechanisms, and reactions of organic compounds.
		The most fundamental concept in chemistry is the law of conservation of mass, which states that there is no detectable change in the quantity of matter during an ordinary chemical reaction.
		Joseph Proust's law of definite composition says that pure chemicals are composed of elements in a definite formulation; we now know that the structural arrangement of these elements is also important.

	AllRefer.com - law of simple multiple proportions (Chemistry) - Encyclopedia
		law of simple multiple proportions, in chemistry, the statement that when two or more elements form more than one compound, the ratio of the weights of one element that combine with a given weight of another element in the different compounds is a ratio of small whole numbers.
		The law of simple multiple proportions can be regarded as an extension of the early law of definite composition, which states that the proportions by weight of the elements present in any pure compound are always the same.
		An even broader generalization is the law of combining (or equivalent) weights (also known as the law of reciprocal proportions), which states that the ratio in which two substances react with each other is the ratio, or some multiple of the ratio, of the weight of the same two substances reacting with a third substance.

		One of the fundamental observations of modern chemistry the law of definite proportions states that in a pure compound the elements combine in definite proportions to each
		While the law of definite proportions might trivially true to the modern chemist inherent the very definition of a chemical compound was not so at the end of 18th century when the concept of a compound had not yet been fully developed.
		The law of definite proportions contributed to was placed on a firm theoretical basis the atomic theory that John Dalton promoted beginning in 1803 which explained matter as consisting of atoms that there was one type of for each element and that the compounds made of combinations of different types of in fixed proportions.

		In fact, when first proposed, it was a controversial statement and was opposed by other chemists, most notably Proust's fellow Frenchman Claude Louis Berthollet, who argued that the elements could combine in any proportion.
		This very existence of this debate underscores that at the time, the distinction between pure chemical compounds and mixtures had not yet been fully developed.
		An example is the iron oxide wüstite, which can contain between 0.83 and 0.95 iron atoms for every oxygen atom, and thus contain anywhere between 23% and 25% oxygen.

		Along with the law of multiple proportions, this forms the basis of stoichiometry.
		In most of these experiments, Proust reacted several of the elements with oxygen and observed that the oxygen content of the product of these reactions was always fixed at one or two values, rather than displaying a broad range of possible values.
		For example, Proust measured that the product of iron and oxygen might contain 27% oxygen or 48% oxygen, but not an intermediate composition, or that the product of copper and oxygen might contain 18% oxygen or 25% oxygen, but not an intermediate composition.

		A second set of observations about the composition of compounds from the work of Joseph Proust and others is summarized in our definition of a compound (a substance composed of two or more elements in definite proportion by mass).
		An English schoolteacher, John Dalton, saw in these laws the experimental validation of the idea that matter is composed of discrete particles, or atoms.
		Another example of this law is shown by three oxides of nitrogen: nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, and nitrogen dioxide.

	An Overview of Chemistry
		Chemistry is the study of the composition of substances and the changes that they undergo; the branch of science concerned with the properties, structure, and composition of substances and their reactions with one another.
		Physical chemistry (studying the relationship of physical properties to chemical composition, structure, and reactivity) and analytical chemistry (studying the composition of material) also developed in parallel, particularly with 20th-c developments in spectroscopic and electrochemical methods.
		Even living systems are made up of fundamental particles and, as studied in biology, biophysics and biochemistry, they follow the same types of laws as the simpler particles traditionally studied by a physicist.

		Dalton thought that water would have the simplest possible composition: one atom of hydrogen for one atom of oxygen, or HO.
		As the composition of more compounds became available, and the accuracy of measurements improved, the reference for the scale was changed from hydrogen to oxygen, assigning a value of 16.000 to oxygen.
		The simple quantitative laws of chemical change allow us to calculate the quantities of elements required for a chemical reaction.
