Problem

Two separate samples of the same gaseous compound contain only nitrogen and oxygen. • Sample A has a mass of

4.50\,\text{g}

nitrogen combined with

10.30\,\text{g}

oxygen. • Sample B has a mass of

3.00\,\text{g}

nitrogen combined with

6.86\,\text{g}

oxygen. Determine whether the two samples are consistent with being the same compound according to the Law of Definite Proportions.
