Explain each of the following in terms of Dalton's atomic theory.

a. the law of conservation of mass

b. the law of definite proportions

c. the law of multiple proportions

Here's what I get

Explanation:

a. The Law of Conservation of Mass

Atoms can neither be destroyed nor created.

b. Law of Definite Proportions

Atoms of different elements combine with each other in simple whole number ratios.

For example, water always consists of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a 2:1 ratio.

c. Law of Multiple Proportions

Atoms of the same elements can combine in more than one ratio to form two or more compounds.

For example, hydrogen and oxygen can combine in a 2:1 ratio to form water or in a 1:1 ratio to form hydrogen peroxide.
