Question

The equivalent weight of a metal is double than of oxygen. How many times is the equivalent weight of it's oxide than the equivalent weight of the metal?

• A. $1.5$
• B. $2$
• C. $3$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $1.5$

The equivalent mass of oxygen is 8 .
The equivalent mass of metal is 16.
If it is a alkaline earth metal, then its molecular mass will be twice its equivalent mass.It will be 32.
The molecular mass of metal oxide will be 32+16=48

The equivalent mass of metal oxide will be 248​=24. It is 1.5 times that of metal.

Hence option A is correct
