The law of conservation of mass says that matter is not created or destroyed in a closed system. That means if we have a chemical reaction, the amount

Law of multiple proportions states that if two elements form more than one compound, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers. This law is sometimes called Dalton’s Law, named after John Dalton, the chemist who first expressed it. 2.66 g chloride
