Answer:
Well, we may simply write out his Gas law....
Explanation:
#"The ratio between the volumes of the reactant gases and the"# #"gaseous products can be expressed in simple whole numbers."# Now we have got to drill down on this definition...let us consider the formation of
#"gaseous water:"# #H_2(g) +1/2O_2(g)rarrH_2O(g)# ...here the ratio#H_2:O_2:H_2O# #-=# #2:1:2# ..or the formation of
#HCl(g)# #1/2H_2(g)+1/2Cl_2(g) rarr HCl(g)# #;1:1:2# ...and this gas law supports the proposal that VOLUME (under given conditions) is proportional to the number of gaseous particles.
