Question

X g of metal forms Y g of oxide, the find equivalent mass

Answer 1

*Equivalent Mass of oxygen = 8g

*so as per question... we have...

X g of metals react with Y g of oxygen

*as per the definition of equivalent mass::::-
we need to find....
??g of metal will react with 8g of oxygen

*applying unitary method...
the amount of metal that reacts with 8g of oxygen =(X/Y) × 8

thus ... the Equivalent Mass of metal is (X/Y) × 8
