One sample produced 6.93 g of sodium and 10.6 g of chlorine, and the other sample produced 11.2 g of sodium and 17.1 g of chlorine. Part A Are these results consistent with the law of definite proportions? No, the samples have different ratios. Yes, both samples have a ratio of about 0.53. No, both samples have a ratio of about 1.53. Yes, both samples have a ratio of about 1.53. Submit My Answers Give Up Provide Feedback Continue

Explanation / Answer

SAMPLE-1:

The ratio of chlorine to sodium = 10.6 g /6.93 g = 1.53

SAMPLE-2

The ratio of chlorine to sodium = 17.1 g / 11.2 g = 1.53

Thus, the law of definite proportions is valid and the correct option is (b)
