Question:
L of dinitrogen reacted with 22.7 L of dioxygen and 45.4 L of nitrous
oxide was formed. The reaction is given below:
2N2(g) + O2(g) → 2N2O(g)
Which law is being obeyed in this experiment? Write the statement of the law?
Solution:
The above experiment proves Gay-Lussac’s law which states that gases combine or produced in a chemical reaction in a simple whole-number ratio by volume provided
that all gases are the same temperature and pressure.
