Chemistry Question on Solutions

The equivalent weight of oxygen, when it is converted to oxide is equal to

A

molecular weight3\frac{\text{molecular weight}}{3}

B

molecular weight

C

molecular weight4\frac{\text{molecular weight}}{4}

D

molecular weight2\frac{\text{molecular weight}}{2}

Answer

molecular weight4\frac{\text{molecular weight}}{4}

Explanation

Solution

O2+4e−→2O2−O_{2} + 4^{e-} \to 2O^{2-} ∴\therefore Equivalent weight of oxygen = Molecular weight4\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{4}
