Which of the following statements illustrates the law of multiple proportions?
  1. An element forms two oxides, XO and XO2 containing 50% and 60% oxygen respectively. The ratio of masses of oxygen which combines with 1 g of element is 2 : 3.
  2. Hydrogen sulphide contains 5.89% hydrogen, water contains 11.1% hydrogen and sulphur dioxide contains 50% oxygen.
  3. 3.47 g of BaCl2 reacts with 2.36 g Na2SO4 to give 3.88 g BaSO4 and 1.95 g NaCl.
  4. 20 mL ammonia gives 10 volumes N2 and 30 volumes H2 at constant temperature and pressure.

Answer

(A) An element forms two oxides, X O and X O 2 containing 50% and 60% oxygen respectively. The ratio of masses of oxygen which combines with 1 g of element is 2 : 3.
