Answer
These results are consistent with the law of multiple proportions.
Work Step by Step
In sulfur hexafluoride : mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur = 4.45/1.25 = 3.56
In sulfur tetrafluoride : mass of fluorine per gram of sulphur = 4.43/1.87 = 2.36
Ratio of mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur in sulfur hexafluoride and sulfur tetrafluoride =3.56/2.36 = 1.5 = 3 : 2 ,
which is a ratio of small whole numbers.
Thus, these results are consistent with the law of multiple proportions
