Question

Equivalent mass of a monovalent atom if its atomic mass is 35.5 is​?

Answer 1

Answer:

35.5

Explanation:

equivalent mass=molar mass /n factor

here n factor for element is its valency

therefore

eq mass= 35.5/1

Answer 2

Concept:

The atomic mass and the valency of the atom determine the equivalent mass of an atom. Equivalent Mass = $\frac{Atomic mass}{Valency}$ is the formula for calculating an element's equivalent mass.

Given:

The atomic mass of a monovalent atom = 35.5 amu (atomic mass unit)

Find: Equivalent mass of a monovalent atom if its atomic mass is 35.5 is​?

Solution:

As the given atom is monovalent so it has a valency of 1.

By substituting the given values of atomic mass and the valency in the above formula, we can calculate the equivalent mass of that atom as follows below:

                                                  Equivalent mass =  $\frac{35.5}{1} amu$

                                                  Equivalent mass =  35.5 amu

Hence, the correct answer is 35.5 amu.
