Law of chemical combination

  • The combination of elements to form compounds is governed by the following five basic laws:-
  1. Law of Conservation of Mass.
  2. Law of Definite Proportions.
  3. Law of Multiple Proportions.
  4. Gay Lussac’s Law of Gaseous Volumes.
  5. Avogadro Law.

Law of Conservation of Mass

  • Law of conservation of mass states that the matter cannot be created nor be destroyed.
  • This law was put forth by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789.
  • He performed careful experimental studies for combustion reactions for reaching to the above conclusion.

Law of Multiple Proportions

  • According to this law, if two elements can combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element, are in the ratio of small whole numbers.
    • For example: – Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form 2 compounds, water and hydrogen peroxide.
    • H2(2g) + (1/2)O2 (16g) à H2O (18g)
    • H2(2g) + O2 (32g) àH2O2 (34g)
    • The masses of oxygen O (16g and 32g) combine with the fixed mass of (2g) hydrogen H. Therefore the simple ratio is 16:32 or 1:2.
  • This law was given by Dalton in 1803.

Law of Definite Proportions

  • According to this law, a given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by weight.
  • This law was given by French chemist, Joseph Proust in 1806.
  • He observed 2 samples of cupric carbonate.
    • One was of natural origin and another was of synthetic origin.
  • He found that the composition of elements present in it was same for both the samples as shown below:-
Class_11_Concepts_Of_Chemistry_Composition_Of_Elements
  • Note: – It is sometimes also referred to as law of definite composition.

Gay Lussac’s Law of Gaseous Volumes

  • Gay Lussac’s law was given by Gay Lussac in 1808.
  • He observed that when gases combine or are produced in a chemical reaction they do so in a simple ratio by volume provided all gases are at same temperature and pressure.
    • For example: – H (Hydrogen) (100mL) + O (Oxygen) (50mL)à Water (100mL).
    • The volumes of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) which combine together (i.e. 100mL and 50mL) bear a simple ratio of 2:1.

Avogadro Law

  • In 1811, Avogadro proposed that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure should contain equal number of molecules.
  • He made distinction between atoms and molecules.

Problem:-

The following data are obtained when dinitrogen and dioxygen react together to form different compounds:

Mass of dinitrogen Mass of dioxygen

(i) 14 g                            16 g

(ii) 14 g                           32 g

(iii) 28 g                          32 g

(iv) 28 g                          80 g

(a)Which law of chemical combination is obeyed by the above experimental data? Give its statement.

(ii) 1 mg = …………………. kg = …………………. ng

(iii) 1 mL =…………………. L = …………………. dm3

Answer:-

(a)

If we fix the mass of dinitrogen at 28 g, then the masses of dioxygen that will combine with the fixed mass of dinitrogen are 32 g, 64 g, 32 g, and 80 g.

The masses of dioxygen bear a whole number ratio of 1:2:2:5. Hence, the given experimental data obeys the law of multiple proportions. The law states that if two elements combine to form more than one compound, then the masses of one element that combines with the fixed mass of another element are in the ratio of small whole numbers.

(b)

(i) 1 km = 1 km × (1000m/1km) x (100cm/1m) x (10mm/1cm)

Therefore 1 km = 106 mm

1 km = 1 km × (1000m/1km) x (1pm/10-12m)

Therefore 1 km =1015 pm

Hence, 1 km = 106 mm = 1015 pm

(ii) 1 mg = 1 mg × (1 g/1000mg) x (1kg/1000g)

⇒ 1 mg = 106 kg

1 mg = 1 mg × (1 g /1000mg) x (1 ng /10-9g)

⇒ 1 mg = 106 ng

1 mg = 10–6 kg = 10ng

(iii) 1 mL = 1 mL × (1L/1000mL)

⇒ 1 mL = 103 L

1 mL = 1 cm3 = 1 cm3 = 1 x ((1 dm x 1dm x 1dm) / (10cm x 10cm x10 cm)) cm3

⇒ 1 mL = 103 dm3

1 mL = 10–3 L = 10–3 dm3
