Question

The equivalent weight of an element is 4 it's chloride has vapour density 59.25 Then valency of elements is

Answer 1

Mol.wt of chloride MCln=59.25×2=118.50

Suppose atomic mass of M=a

a+35.5n=118.5

Eq.mass=At.massValency

At.mas=E×n

Where n=valency (or) E×n+35.5n=118.5

Where E=4(given)

4n+35.5n=118.5

n=3

Answer 2

118.50 is the only answer
