Question

A metallic chloride contains 47.22% metal.Calculate the equivalent weight of metal

Answer 1

equivalent weight of metal is=mass of metal x 8/mass of oxygen = 47.22/52.78,*8

Answer 2

47.22 percent of metal means chloride is 52.88 percent

That is, 100g of metal chloride contains 47.22g of metal and 52.88 g of chloride.

Therefore, Equivalent weight =
$w = \frac{47.22}{52.88} \times 35.5$
Solve it, you will get the answer!
