Solution

The correct option is C 32 g
Let the equivalent weight of copper be M
Weight of the metal oxide = 5 g; weight of the metal = 4 g
Weight of oxygen = 1 g

weight of the metalweight of oxygen=equivalent weight of the metalequivalent weight of oxygen

41=M8
So, the equivalent weight of copper = 32 g
