KVPY2014ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Complete reaction of 2.0 ~g of calcium (at. wt. = 40 ) with excess HCL produces 1.125 ~L of H ₂ gas. Complete reaction of the same quantity of another metal "M" with excess HCL produces 1.85 ~L of H ₂ gas under indentical conditions. The equivalent weight of "M" is closest to
Options
- A23
- B9
- C7
- D12
Correct answer
D. 12
Step-by-step solution
1.125 ~L of H ₂ produced by 0.1 equivalent of metal 1.85 ~L a of H ₂ will be produced by = 0.1 1.85 1.125 equivalents No of gram equivalent of metal array l = 2 Equivalent weight = 2 x 0.1 1.125 1.85= 2 x x=12.16 array
