Question

Ax gram of metal gives y g of metal oxide on
complete combustion. The equivalent weight of
metal is
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight of metal= x gm and weight of oxide= y gm

∴ Oxygen consumed= (y−x)gm..

Since (y−x) gm of oxygen combines with x gm of metal.

∴8gm of oxygen will combine with 8 x ÷ y-x gm

of metal

Hence equivalent weight of metal= x ÷ y-x × 8
