Question

Several compounds containing only sulfur (S) and fluorine (F) are known. Three of them have the following compositions.
i. 1.188 g of F for every 1.000 g of S
ii. 2.375 g of F for every 1.000 g of S
iii. 3.563 g of F for every 1.000 g of S

How do these data illustrate the law of multiple proportions?

Answer 1

What does the law of multiple proportions say? Something about the amount of F that combines with a fixed about of S is in the ratio of small whole numbers.
1.188/1.188 = 1
2.375/1.188 = ?
3.563/1.188 = ?
