∙ 12y ago
The law of constant composition for compounds is a law in chemistry according to which any given compound always contains the same component elements in the same ratios, by mass. The ratios do not depend on where the compound comes from or the way in which it was produced.

Is the law of constant composition true for all types of compounds?
No, one example would be wüstite. Please see the link.
Does compound follow the law of constant composition?
because 789
Atoms of different elements combine in whole number what?
That is the law of constant composition.
Why is the law of constant composition important to chemistry?
It means that in any pure compound, the proportion of constituent elements (by mass) is a constant. This allows their chemical formulae to be determined.
What is meant by law of constant proportion and how is this law applied in experiment empirical formula of a compound?
The law of constant proportion states that a pure chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.This information, together with the atomic masses of the elements in the compound enable scientists to determine the formula of a compound.
If Law of constant composition true for all types of compounds?
No,Law of constant composition is valid only for compounds made from the specified isotopes of the element.
Is the law of constant composition true for all types of compounds?
No, one example would be wüstite. Please see the link.
Who stated the law of constant composition?
Joseph Louis Proust (1754-1826), In 1799 Proust stated that "Compounds always contain the same elements in a constant proportion by mass." This statement is now called law of definite composition or the law of constant proportion.
Is the law of definite composition applicable to compounds only?
This law is not valid for all chemical compounds (ex. nonstoichiometric compounds).
State the law of definite proportions?
The law of definite proportions states that all chemical compounds have constant proportions of their components.
Does compound follow the law of constant composition?
because 789
The first chemist to formally state the law of constant composition was?
Proust
What are the drawbacks of law of constant composition?
kill kill king king
Atoms of different elements combine in whole number what?
That is the law of constant composition.
What you mean by nonstoichiometry?
The chemical composition of nonstoichiometric compounds do not respect the law of definite proportions.
Evidence that supports the law of constant composition?
A piece of evidence that is commonly used to prove the law of constant composition is that any sample of water is 88. 71 percent oxygen and 11. 19 percent hydrogen. It was formulated by Joseph Proust.
What would Proust say about the composition of all carbon dioxide molecules?
He would insist that all Carbon Dioxide molecules have the same composition, by his Law of Constant Composition.
