	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.

	Law of multiple proportions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chemistry, the law of multiple proportions is one of the basic laws of stoichiometry, alongside the law of definite proportions.
		Careful study of the actual numerical values of these proportions led Dalton to propose his law of multiple proportions.
		This was an important step toward the atomic theory that he would propose later that year, and it laid the basis for chemical formulas for compounds.

		law of multiple proportions, which states that if two elements combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one of the elements that can combine with a given mass of the other element are related by factors of small whole numbers.
		The law of conservation of mass was a truly seminal concept proposed by A. Lavoisier in 1789 (guillotined in 1794 as a nobleman and tax-collector) that laid the foundation for modern chemistry and sounded the deathknell for the Phlogiston Theory.
		The law of multiple proportions was formulated as the "rule of greatest simplicity" and resulted in his assumption that water was HO, with oxygen having a relative mass of 12.

	Law of definite proportions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the fundamental observations of modern chemistry made by Joseph Louis Proust, the law of definite proportions states that, in a pure compound, the elements combine in definite proportions to each other by mass.
		In any given sample of pure water, there will always be two hydrogen atoms for every single oxygen atom, and the mass ratio will always be 88.81% Oxygen to 11.19% Hydrogen.
		Hydrogen peroxide, for example, is a compound of two hydrogen atoms for every two oxygen molecules.

	Forming Chemical Compounds
		They are the Law of Conservation of Mass, the Law of Definite Proportions, and the Law of Multiple Proportions.
		This law results from the fact that a compound is formed by the combination of a definite number of atoms of one element with a definite number of atoms of another.
		This law states that if two elements combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one of the elements combining with a fixed mass of the other are in a simple ratio to one another.

	Who was John Dalton? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Probably the best-known and most widely accepted of the empirical laws known to Dalton was the law of conservation of (total) mass, which had been used by Lavoisier in 1798.
		The second empirical law known to Dalton was the Law of Constant Composition of compounds (attributed to Proust (1755 - 1826)) which stated that any pure substance has a fixed composition in terms of the chemical elements.
		The law of multiple proportions is as follows: When any two elements are observed to form more than one compound between them, the mass ratios in one compound will be related to the mass ratios in the other in the proportions of whole numbers.

		As such, it is not identical to the law of multiple proportions as usually defined and taught in introductory chemistry, which is a law concerning the elemental composition of compounds.
		Of course multiple proportions of elemental composition and multiple proportions of reaction stoichiometry are intimately related, and both are easily explained by the discrete nature of atoms and molecules.
		Rather it takes some observations that were noteworthy because they illustrate multiple proportions in reaction stoichiometry, and asks the students to express the chemical quantities and the reactions in the modern chemical vocabulary of moles, formulas, and chemical equations.

		It tells us that the ratios of the masses of two elements that combine in multiple ways to form different compounds will be small, whole numbers.
		To show that the law of multiple proportions is obeyed, we simply need to determine if the mass ratios between As and S and then compare those ratios in the two compounds.

		The Law of definite proportions states that no matter how you make a chemical compound, it's got the same ratio of elements.
		The law of multiple proportions refers to different chemical compounds that can be formed when two elements react with each other.
		The law of multiple proportions says that whenever oxygen and hydrogen (or any two elements react to form more than one compound), the ratios of the elements to each other will be some whole number multiple of the ratios of the elements in the other compounds.
