Question

$74.5g$ of metal chloride contains $35.5g$ of chlorine. The equivalent weight of metal is

• A. $74.5$
• B. $39$
• C. $35.5$
• D. $7.45$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $39$

Weight of metal = (74.5 - 35.5) gm

$Equivalentweightofmetal=\left(\frac{weightofmetal}{weightofchlorine}\right)\times 35.5$

$=\frac{(74.5-35.5)}{\left(35.5\right)}\times 35.5$

$=39$

Hence, option $B$ is correct.
