is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? why or why not? with a limited number of

elements (less than 120 are known ) does this mean we also have a small number of compounds or do we have a large number of compounds in this world ?

Yes. The two elements can combine to form different compounds.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Two elements can combine at different ratios.

Consider CO and CO₂. Both are made from carbon and oxygen. However, C and O combine at a 1:1 ratio in CO but at a 1:2 ratio in CO₂. CO is a fuel; it burns in the air. CO₂ does not burn in the air; it is used to put out fires and is found in extinguishers. CO and CO₂ are two distinct compounds.

There are many ways for the elements to combine with each other. As a result, the first twenty elements on the periodic table alone can produce a large number of compounds.

According to the law of multiple proportions, if 12 g of carbon combine with 16 g of oxygen to form co, the number of grams of c
scZoUnD [109]

The amount of carbon combined with oxygen in order to form Carbon Dioxide(CO₂)  is 12 grams

The Law of Multiple proportions is one of the basic laws in chemistry along with the Law of Definite proportion. This law was proposed by John Dalton in 1803. The law states that if two elements react to form one or more compounds then the ratio of masses of both the elements is in the ratio of small whole numbers.

It is known that Carbon can form two different compounds while reacting with Oxygen that is: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide. For Carbon Monoxide, 12g of Carbon needs to react with 16g of Oxygen. Whereas, In Carbon Dioxide, 12g of Carbon needs to react with 32g of Oxygen. So the mass of Carbon is equal in both cases is 12g.

                      C(12g)   +   O(16g)   ⇒  CO   (Carbon Monoxide)    

                      C(12g)   +  2O(32g) ⇒  CO₂  (Carbon Dioxide)

Enough of a monoprotic acid is dissolved in water to produce a 1.35 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution is 2.93. Calcul
Ede4ka [16]
The acid dissociation constant is defined as Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA] where [H+], [A-] and [HA] are the concentrations of protons, conjugate base, and acid in solution respectively. Assuming this is a weak acid as the pH is quite high for a 1.35 M solution, we can assume that the change in [HA] is negligible and therefore [HA] = 1.35 M.
To calculate [H+] we can use the relationship pH = -log[H+], rearranging to give: [H+] = 10^(-pH) = 10^(-2.93) = 1.17 x 10^(-3).
Since the acid is relatively concentrated we can assume therefore that       [H+] = [A-] as for each proton dissociated, a conjugate base is formed.
Therefore, we can calculate Ka as:
Ka = [H+]^2/[HA] = (1.17 x 10^-3 M)^2/1.35 = 1.01 x 10^-6 M
