Question

Hello, can someone help me with this chemistry question. (I'll report if it's spam)

Calculate equivalent masses of a metal and sulfur if 4.86 g of metal form 5.22 g of oxide and 5.58 g of sulfide.

Answer 1

Answer:

Equivalent weight of metal oxide =20

Now,

Equivalent weight of metal + Equivalent weight of oxide = Equivalent weight of metal oxide

Here, Equivalent weight of oxygen =8

And, Equivalent weight of nitrogen =314=4.67

Using these values,

Equivalent weight of metal +8=20

⟹ Equivalent weight of metal =12

∴ Equivalent weight of Nitride = Equivalent weight of metal + Equivalent weight of Nitrogen

⟹ Equivalent weight of Nitride =12+4.67=16.67
