KVPY2017ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of Chemistry
1.25 ~g of a metal (M) reacts with oxygen completely to produce 1.68 ~g of metal oxide. The empirical formula of the metal oxide is [molar mass of M and O are 69.7 ~g ~mol ⁻¹ and 16.0 ~g ~mol ⁻¹ , respectively]
Options
- AM ₂ O
- BM ₂ O ₃
- CMO ₂
- DM ₃ O ₄
Correct answer
B. M ₂ O ₃
Step-by-step solution
1.25 E = 1.68 E +8 E =23.25 n - factor = 69.7 23.25 3 Emprical formula = M ₂ O ₃
