Question

Choose the correct option.

Equivalent mass of zinc is _______________.

• A. 32.6
• B. 65.3
• C. 16.32
• D. 21.7

Answer 1

The correct option is A

32.6

• Formula to find Equivalent mass of an element $\left(\mathrm{X}\right)$= $\frac{Atomicmassof\text{'}X\text{'}}{Valency}$.
• Atomic mass of zinc (Zn) = 65.38 amu.
• hence Equivalent mass of zinc $\left(\mathrm{Zn}\right)$ = $\frac{65.38}{2}=32.69$.

Therefore option (a) 32.6 is correct.
