Chemical formulas

Chemical formulas are supported by follow 2 laws:

• Law of definite proportions by Joseph Louis Proust
  • e.g. if H2O, 1H, and 16O, proportions of weights H:O = 2:16 = 1:8
• Law of multiple proportions by John Dalton
  • e.g. if mass of CO, CO2, and C are 28g, 44g, 12g, mass of O in CO and O in CO2 are 16g, 32g. O(CO):O2(CO2) = 16:32 = 1:2

Tests

• starch test by iodine
