The ratio of masses of carbon to oxygen is the same in all three and the ratio of masses of hydrogen to oxygen is the same in all three samples as calculated in part a.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
In both cases, the mass ratio of the elements is the smallest whole number.
As a result of the observations in a and b, the following law emerges:
When two elements combine to form a compound, the mass ratio of their constituents is always the smallest whole number.
