For what is the law of definite proportions valid?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pure compound

The direct answer is A: the law of definite proportions is valid for a pure compound. A compound is a substance in which elements are chemically combined in a fixed way. Therefore, every pure sample of a particular compound contains the same elements in the same fixed mass ratio. For example, pure water contains hydrogen and oxygen in a constant mass ratio of 1:8, even if the sample is large or small. A is correct. B is wrong because a mixture contains substances physically combined in variable amounts, so its composition can change; the law does not apply to any mixture. C is wrong because the law is not limited to metal mixtures, and a metal mixture is often an alloy or mixture rather than a definite compound. D is wrong because soil is a heterogeneous mixture with changing composition. The key is the word pure: fixed composition belongs to a pure compound, not to a mixture. Memory cue: compound means constant composition; mixture means variable composition.
