According to this theory, an element in a compound had a definite saturation capacity, an idea very old in itself, being framed in the law of multiple proportions.
Berzelius, who, fired with enthusiasm by the original theory of Dalton and the law of multiple proportions, determined the equivalents of combining ratios of many elements in an enormous number of compounds.
This rule is called the law of multiple proportions.
We can now formulate this law--the law of multiple proportions.
This is a fresh example confirming the correctness of the law of multiple proportions, to which we have already referred in speaking of the water of crystallisation of salts.
Dalton described the atomic constitution of gases in 1808, and sketched the law of multiple proportions in chemical combinations and described binary, ternary and quaternary combinations.
The extension of this idea to substances in general necessarily led him to the law of combination in multiple proportions, and the comparison with experiment brilliantly confirmed the truth of his deduction" (A New View, &c.
Wollaston had discovered independently the law of multiple proportions in the case of neutral and acid salts.
This is the "law of multiple proportions" (see ATOM).
As to the law of multiple proportions, it may be deduced by a similar reasoning by considering the possible combinations between a compound, e.
That the law of multiple proportions is simply a generalization of facts, and may be stated apart from the atomic theory, is now generally admitted.
This was a striking confirmation of his views regarding combination in multiple proportions, which views followed as a necessary deduction from the atomic hypothesis.
Analyses of the oxalates of potash, published about the same time by Wollaston, afforded another illustration of the law of multiple proportions, and drew the attention of chemists to Dalton's theory.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "multiple proportions" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
