Which of the following are correct statements about eudiometry (gas analysis in a graduated tube over mercury)?

  1. AVolumes of gases measured at the same and are proportional to their moles
  2. BWater formed is neglected in the volume of residual gas when measurements are made at room temperature
  3. CThe volume of formed is found from the contraction on adding KOH
  4. DNitrogen formed from combustion of a nitrogen compound is absorbed by KOH

Answer: A, B, C

Avogadro's law makes volume ratios equal to mole ratios (A). Water is liquid at room temperature and occupies negligible volume (B). KOH absorbs and the decrease in volume gives its amount (C). is not absorbed by KOH; it stays in the residual gas (D wrong).
