Vapour density of a metal chloride is 83. If equivalent weight of the metal is 6, its atomic weight will be ____.
Options
- A12
- B24
- C18
- D60
Correct answer
B. 24
Step-by-step solution
Valency of metal, ( aligned (n) & = 2 vapour density Equivalent weight of metal +35.5 & = 2 83 6+35.5 =4 aligned ) The atomic weight of metal is equal to the product of the equivalent weight of metal and valency. Atomic weight of metal (=n ) equivalent weight of metal (=4 6=24 ) Hence, the correct option (b).
