LAWS OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

There are four laws of chemical combination, which will be stated here in this post. They include:

1). THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS: this law states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed,  but changes from one form to another.

2). THE LAW OF DEFINITE PROPORTION S: this law is also known as the law of constant composition.  It states that all pure samples of a particular chemical compound, contain the same elements combined in the same proportion by mass.

3). THE LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS: this law states that if two elements A and B combine to form more than one compound, then the various masses of one element A, which combines with the fixed mass of the other element B, are in simple multiple ratio.

4). THE LAW OF RECIPROCAL PROPORTIONS: it states that the masses of several elements A, B, C, which combines separately with the fixed mass of another element D are the same as or simple multiples of the masses in which A, B, C themselves combine with one another.
