mass is not created or destroyed during ordinary chemical reactions or physical changes | Law of Conservation of Mass |
compounds contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass regardless of the size of the sample or source of the compound | Law of Definite Proportions |
when 2 or more different compounds are made of the same 2 elements, the ratio of the masses of the 2nd element combined with a certain mass of the 1st element is always a ratio of small whole numbers | Law of Multiple Proportions |
