What is multiple proportions
When multiple compounds are formed by the same elements the proportions are in single whole number ratios
EX. 1.0g C + 1.3g O = CO
1.0g C + 2.6g O = CO2
What is a substance and what is included in a substance
A substance has fixed compositions and it consists of elements and compounds
Daltons atomic model accounted for what laws
conservation of mass
constant composition
multiple proportion
What is constant composition
A compound has fixed proportions of constituent elements
EX. No matter where you get CO2 the composition will always be the same
what is a compound
different atoms bonded together
What is conservation of mass
The total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of the reactants.
what is a mixture
several different substances mixed into one
What is an element
