Solution
The correct option is A[W2−W1W1]×8
Equivalent weightis the mass of one equivalent, that is the mass of a given substance which will combine with or displace a fixed quantity of another substance.
Given,
W1 g of an element forms W2 g of its oxide.
Mass of the oxygen=(W2−W1)
Mass of oxygen=8
Hence, equivalent weight of the element is, [W2−W1W1]×8
