The law of definite proportions states that a chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio by mass. This law helps explain why water will always:
**B) consist of a particular proportion of hydrogen and oxygen.**
Water, for example, is always composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H₂O), which reflects the fixed proportion mandated by the law of definite proportions.
