Question

xample 1:
The equivalent weight of a metal is double than that of oxygen. How many times is the weight of
its oxide greater than the weight of metal?
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) 7.5
(a) 4​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 times greater.

Explanation:

because double of oxygen's weight is 32 which is sulphur and SO is its oxide so 32÷16=2.

Answer 2

Answer:

The equivalent mass of an element is the mass of the element in grams that combines with 8 grams of oxygen or 1 gram of hydrogen. The equivalentmass of the metal is 12. It means 12 grams of the metal combine with 8 grams of oxygen to give 20 grams (12g+8g=20g) of the oxide

Explanation:

The unit of equivalent weight is the atomic mass unit ; the amount of a substance in grams numerically equal to the equivalent weight is called a gram equivalent. Hydrogen has atomic weight 1.008 (rounded to three decimal places) and always assumes valence 1 in compounds, so its equivalent weight is 1.008.
