Law of Definite Proportions in Chemistry
The Law of Definite Proportions asserts that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio by mass, regardless of the source or method of preparation. This principle establishes fundamental stoichiometric rules wherein the composition of matter is invariant and quantifiable through atomic theory definitions. It operates as a foundational constraint within analytical chemistry and theoretical physics governing molecular structure determination.
