Chlorine (Cl) and Oxygen (O) form four different binary compounds. Analysis gives the following results:

Compound                                                            Mass of O combined with 1.0 g cl

       A                                                                               0.226g

       B                                                                               0.903g

       C                                                                               1.354g

       D                                                                               1. 579g

Compound A has a formula that is some multiple of Cl2O, then which of the following is incorrectly said? 

(a)

Compound B is Cl2O5 (or cl4O10, or cl6O15,­ and so forth).

(b)

Compound C is Cl2O6 (or ClO3 or cl3O9, and so forth).

(c)

Compound D is Cl2 O7(or a multiple there of)

(d)

The above data show the law of multiple proportions holds for these compounds
