Question

calculate percentage of hydrogen in hydride of a metal Equivalent weight of metal is equal to 9​

Answer 1

Answer:

Equivalent weight of Oxide of a metal = 20.

So for calculating Eq. Weight of hydride of metal we must know the eq. Weight of metal.

Now as we know that eq. Weight of Oxygen is 8.

Let the eq. Weight of metal be X.

Calculating equivalent weight of metal w.r.t Oxygen I.e.

X+8=20, we get X = 12.

Now eq weight of hydrogen = 1

Thus eq. Weight of Metal hydride = 12+1 = 13.

Hope it helps.
