Question

A bivalent metal has 12 as its equivalent weight the molecular weight of its oxide is

Answer 1

Equivalent Weight of the metal 'X'=12.

Valency =2

So Atomic Weight=12 x 2=24.

A bivalent metal will react with oxygen in the ratio 1:1.

So the Molecular Formula of the Metallic Oxide will be MO.

So it's Molecular Weight will be (24+16)=40.
