Target entity: law of constant proportions Context triple: [Jöns Jacob Berzelius, knownFor, law of constant proportions]
-
A.
law of conservation of mass
The law of conservation of mass is a fundamental principle of classical physics and chemistry stating that in a closed system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during chemical reactions or physical transformations.
-
B.
Avogadro's law
Avogadro's law is a fundamental principle of chemistry stating that equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, contain equal numbers of molecules.
-
C.
law of mass action
The law of mass action is a fundamental principle in chemistry stating that the rate and equilibrium position of a chemical reaction depend on the concentrations of the reacting substances, each raised to a power corresponding to its stoichiometric coefficient.
-
D.
Dulong–Petit law
The Dulong–Petit law is an early empirical rule in thermodynamics stating that many solid elements have approximately the same molar heat capacity at high temperatures.
-
E.
Dalton Minimum
The Dalton Minimum was a period of unusually low solar activity in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, associated with cooler global temperatures and climatic anomalies.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
