Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Analyze these statements. The law of definite proportion suggests that elements combine in specific ratios by mass. It is then apparent that one major difference between atoms of different elements must be their mass.
A
Both statements are true.
B
Both statements are false.
C
The first statement is false and the second statement is true.
D
The first statement is true and the second statement is false
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The law of multiple proportions states that whenever the same two elements form more than one compound, the different masses of one element that combine with the same mass of the other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers.

Detailed explanation-2: -law of multiple proportions, statement that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.

Detailed explanation-3: -In chemistry, the law of definite proportions, sometimes called Proust’s law, or law of constant composition states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is the Statement of the Law of Definite Proportions? The law of definite proportions, also known as the law of constant proportions, states that the individual elements that constitute a chemical compound are always present in a fixed ratio (in terms of their mass).
