Question

If equivalent weight of a metal is 8 then the
equivalent weight of its metal oxide will be
(1) 24
(2) 16
(3) 40
(4) 32​

Answer 1

Answer:

we know that equivalent weight of oxygen in 8. therefore, the equivalent weight of metal oxide = 8+8 = 16

Answer 2

Answer:

(2) 16

Explanation:

As per the question,

We have been provided that the equivalent weight of a metal is 8

Now,

Let the metal be M

Therefore its oxide is

Metal oxide = MO₂

Equivalent weight of its metal oxide = equivalent weight of metal (M) + equivalent weight of O₂

Since, the equivalent weight of O₂ is 8 grams/equivalent.

∴ Equivalent weight of its metal oxide = equivalent weight of metal (M) + equivalent weight of O₂

⇒Equivalent weight of its metal oxide = 8 + 8 = 16

Hence, the required equivalent weight of its metal oxide = 16
