Law of Constant Composition
all pure substances have constant composition all samples of a pure substance contain the same elements in the same percentages (ratios) mixtures have variable composition

Compounds Display Constant Composition
If we decompose water by electrolysis, we find 16.0 grams of oxygen to every 2.00 grams of hydrogen. Water has a constant Mass Ratio of Oxygen to Hydrogen of 8.0.

Why do Compounds Show Constant Composition
smallest piece of a compound is called a molecule every molecule of a compound has the same number and type of atoms as determined by the electronic structures of the atoms (more on that later in the year) since all the molecules of a compound are identical… every sample will have the same ratio of the elements every sample of the compound will have the same properties

EXAMPLE 5.1 Constant Composition of Compounds
Two samples of carbon dioxide, obtained from different sources, were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 4.8 g of oxygen and 1.8 g of carbon, and the other sample produced 17.1 g of oxygen and 6.4 g of carbon. Show that these results are consistent with the law of constant composition. To show this, compute the mass ratio of one element to the other by dividing the larger mass by the smaller one. For the first sample: For the second sample: Solution: Since the ratios are the same for the two samples, these results are consistent with the law of constant composition.

What is the carbon-hydrogen mass ratio for methane (CH4)?
1 0.33 3 4 0.25

5.1B If the mass ratio of lead(II) sulfide is g lead and 41.8 g sulfur, how much lead is required to completely react with 85.6 g of sulfur? 13.3 185 228 312 553

Make the magnitude of the charge on each ion (without the sign) become the subscript for the other ion. In this case, the numbers cannot be reduced any further; the correct formula is Al2O3. 3. Reduce the subscripts to give a ratio with the smallest whole numbers. 4. Check that the sum of the charges of the cations exactly cancels the sum of the charges of the anions. Cations: 2(3+) = 6+ Anions: 3(2–) = 6– The charges cancel.
