Law of multiple proportions. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In chemistry, the law of multiple proportions is one of the basic laws of stoichiometry used to establish the atomic theory, alongside the law of conservation of mass (matter) and the law of definite proportions.
An equivalent statement is the law of constant composition, which states that all samples of a given chemical compound have the same elemental composition by mass. For example, oxygen makes up about 8 / 9 of the mass of any sample of pure water, while hydrogen makes up the remaining 1 / 9 of the mass. Along with the law of multiple proportions, the law of definite proportions forms the basis of stoichiometry.
