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 $39$

$Equivalentweight=\frac{\text{mass of metal}}{\text{mass of chloride}}\times 35.5=\frac{74.5-35.5}{35.5}\times 35.5=39$
