Two oxides of lead were separately reduced to metallic lead by heating in a current of i) Mass of yellow oxide taken=3.45g

ii) Mass of brown oxide taken=1.227g
Loss in mass during reduction=16g

Show that the above data illustrate the law of multiple proportions.

Let us consider the mass of oxygen as 1 g.

Mass of lead obtained from yellow oxide = 3.45 g – 0.24 g = 3.21 g

Mass of oxygen = 0.24 g

The mass of lead that combines with 0.24 g of oxygen = 3.21 g

Therefore, mass of lead that combines with 1 g of oxygen = 3.21/ 0.24 = 13.4 g

Mass of lead obtained from brown oxide = 1.227 g – 0.16 g = 1.067

Mass of oxygen = 0.16g

The mass of lead that combines with 0.16 g of oxygen = 1.067 g

Therefore, mass of lead that combines with 1 g of oxygen = 1.067/ 0.16 = 6.66 g

Now, ratio of masses of lead which combines with a fixed mass of oxygen = 13.4 : 6.66

= 2 :1

Thus, masses of lead which combine with the fixed mass of oxygen are in the ratio of (2:1) i.e. small whole numbers.

Hence, the law of multiple proportions is illustrated.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .
