Question

1.60g of a metal were dissolved in HNO3 to prepare its nitrate. The nitrate on strong heating gives 2g oxide. The equivalent weight of metal is

Answer 1

see when we dissolved any metal first it will react each other and in acid we are dissolving then it will highly react. The equivalent wt of metal is 160g plzzzzzzz make me branliest I beg u plzzzzz bana do

Answer 2

Explanation:

mass of metal taken=1.60g

mass of oxide formed=2.0g

mass of oxygen that combined with 1.60g of the metal= 2.0-1.60=0.40g

equivalant weight of the metal

=mass of the metal÷mass of oxygen×8=1.60÷0.40×8=32
