Refer to the diagram below showing masses of elements G and H in two compounds. Using the Law of Multiple Proportions, what is the empirical formula ratio of element H in the two compounds if mass of G is fixed at 10 g?
D · 1 : 3
Masses of H are 5 g and 15 g with fixed 10 g of G, ratio is 5:15 = 1:3, indicating empirical formula ratios.

Refer to the diagram below showing mass ratios of element J combining with fixed mass of element K in two compounds. Which statement best describes a limitation of the Law of Multiple Proportions based on this data?
A · The mass ratios are not simple whole numbers, indicating possible non-stoichiometric behavior
The diagram shows mass ratios of 10 g and 17 g, which are not simple whole numbers, suggesting limitations of the law.
