Hydrazine, N2H4, is a corrosive liquid used in rocket and jet fuels. Ammonia, NH3, is a gas that dissolves in water to form a solution that can be used as a cleaning agent. How do hydrazine and ammonia illustrate the law of multiple proportions?

(the law of mulitple proportions is; statement that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.)

OK in the case of hydrazine 14 grams of nitrogen combine with 2 gram of hydrogen and with ammonia 14 grams combine with 3 grams of hydrogen.

Ratio 2:3
