    The law of proportion states that elements combine in whole number ratios. The gram readings for K are multiples of each other, both in grams and moles.

    Let us compare the ratios:

    2.44 grams/1.22 grams = 2

    4.89 grams/2.44 grams = 2

    Therefore, Potassium always combines with Oxygen in a ratio of 2 is to 1.
