Question

an oxide of metal M has 40% by mass of oxygen metal M has atomic mass of 24 the empirical formula of oxide is what

Answer 1

let the. 100g

then O is 40g

and (100-40)g =60g of metal

given mass of M/atomic mass : given mass of O/atomic mass

M. : O

60/24 :40/16

30/12:20/8

15/6 :10/4

5/2. :5/2

The ratio is 1:1 then formula is MO
