The oxide of a metal contains 40 % of oxygen. The valency of metal is 2 . What is the atomic weight of metal?
Options
- A24
- B13
- C40
- D36
Correct answer
A. 24
Step-by-step solution
40 ~g of oxygen is combined with =60 ~g of metal array r 8 ~g of oxygen will be combined with = 60 8 40 =12 ~g of metal array Equivalent weight of metal =12 Now, Atomic weight = Equivalent weight valency =12 2=24
