Hydrogen and oxygen combine to form H₂O₂ and H₂O containing  5.93%  and  11.2%  hydrogen  respectively. The data illustrates:

A.law of conservation of mass
B.law of constant proportion
C.law of reciprocal proportion
D.law of multiple proportion✓ Correct
Explanation

When  two  element  A  and  B  from  two  different compounds, the masses of element B that combine with a fixed mass of element A can be expressed as a ratio of small whole numbers. In H₂O₂, H = 5.93 hence O = 94.07 The ratio of O and H is 5.93 0.0630 94.07 Again, in H₂O, H = 11.2 so O = 88.8 The ratio of O and H is  11.2 0.126 88.8 And the total ratio is  0.126 2 0.0630 .
