Question

a metal oxide contains 16% oxygen.the equivalent weight of metal si​

Answer 1

Answer : The equivalent weight of metal is, 42

Explanation :

As we are given that the metal oxide contains 16 % oxygen. That means,

Mass of oxygen = 16 g

Mass of metal oxide = 100 g

Mass of metal = Mass of metal oxide - Mass of oxygen

Mass of metal = 100 - 16 = 84 g

Formula used :

$\text{Equivalent weight of metal}=\frac{\text{Mass of metal in oxide}}{\text{Mass of oxygen}}\times 8$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\text{Equivalent weight of metal}=\frac{84g}{16g}\times 8=42$

Therefore, the equivalent weight of metal is, 42

Answer 2

• The equivalent weight of metal is, 42
