1. Laws of Chemical Combination — short & precise
Law of Conservation of Mass (Lavoisier)
• Statement: Mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
• Implication: Total mass of reactants = total mass of products.
• Example: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
If 4 g H₂ reacts with 32 g O₂ → mass of products = 36 g H₂O.
Law of Definite (Constant) Proportions (Proust)
• Statement: A given chemical compound always contains the same elements in
the same fixed proportion by mass.
• Example: Water always contains hydrogen and oxygen in mass ratio 1 : 8 (H : O)
— i.e., 2 g H combines with 16 g O → 18 g H₂O.
(Optional but useful) Law of Multiple Proportions (Dalton)
