By what other name is the law of definite proportions known?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Law of constant composition

The law of definite proportions says that a pure chemical compound always contains the same elements in the same fixed ratio by mass. This ratio does not change when the compound is obtained from a different place or prepared by a different method. Therefore, the law connects a compound with a constant composition, not with changing pressure or gas volume.

For this reason, option A is correct: “law of constant composition” is another accepted name for the law of definite proportions. The law of gaseous volumes deals with relationships between reacting gas volumes, while mass destruction and pressure conservation are not the standard names of this law. Remembering both names helps avoid confusion in examinations.
