Last month, Louisa performed an experiment to study how springs are stretched by weights. She recorded the data carefully and found that a straight line fit the data very closely. This agreed what Louisa had read in her textbook concerning Hooke's Law. This
week, Louisa tried to help Alina perform a similar experiment. This time, the graph of the data seemed to bend into a curve at the
upper end
All of these could explain the new results EXCEPT

i do not get it   at all

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
