Question

The equivalent weight of the metal is double of that oxygen how many times is the weight of its oxides is greater than the weight of the metal?

Answer 1

Equivalent mass of metal =16=xn

Equivalent mass of oxygen is 8

When x=atomic mass of metal

n=valency of metal

Molecular formula of metal oxide =MxOn

massofmetaloxidemassofmetal=2(16n)+16(n)2(16n)

⇒1.5
