The law of multiple proportions was proposed by __________

Law of constant proportion states that

• matter can neither be created nor destroyed

• equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure should contain equal number of molecules.

• a given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by weight.

• if two elements can combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element, are in the ratio of small whole numbers
