by 1700s, all chemists agreed:by 1700s, all chemists agreed: on the existence of atomson the existence of atoms that atoms combined to make that atoms combined to make
compoundscompounds
Still did not agree on whether Still did not agree on whether elements combined in the same ratio elements combined in the same ratio when making a compoundwhen making a compound
Law of Conservation of MassLaw of Conservation of Mass
mass is neither created or destroyed mass is neither created or destroyed during regular chemical or physical during regular chemical or physical changeschanges
Law of Definite ProportionsLaw of Definite Proportions
any amount of a compound contains any amount of a compound contains the same element in the same the same element in the same proportions by mass proportions by mass
No matter where the copper carbonate is used, it still has the same composition
Law of Multiple ProportionsLaw of Multiple Proportions applies when 2 or more elements combine applies when 2 or more elements combine
