Question

the molecular mass of a oxide of an element is 44 .the equivalent weight of element is 14 .the atomic weight of the element is??

Answer 1

Answer:

14

Explanation:

Let the formula of oxide = M2 O x

. Its molecular weight =44 .

2 × M + x × 16 = 44

[ since we know that EQUIVALENT WEIGHT=MOLECULER WEIGHT/VALENCE(X)]

2 ( E × x ) + x *16 = 44

2 ( 14 × x ) + 16 x = 44

∴ x =1

Atomic weight  = 14 × 1 = 14
