Question

If the equivalent mass of a metal (M) is x and the formula of its oxide is $M_m,O_n$, then show that the atomic mass of M is $\frac{2xn}{m}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Let atomic mass of metal =a

Mass of metal$=a\times m$

Mass of oxygen $=16\times n$

Equation of mass(x)$=\frac{massofelement}{massofoxygen}\times 8$

$x=\frac{am}{16n}\times 8$

$a=\frac{2xn}{m}$
