Law of multiple proportions, 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.
here carbon is combining with oxygen to form two different compounds. 
with different proportions , 
so, it obeys the law of multiple proportions . "
