Solution

The correct option is A 33.25 g
Let the equivalent weight of the metal be M
weight of the metal oxide = 3 g
weight of the metal chloride = 5 g

weight of the metal chlorideweight of the metal oxide=equivalent weight of the metal chlorideequivalent weight of the metal oxide

53=M+35.5M+8
On solving, M=33.25 g
