Question

The weight of a metal of equivalent weight $12$, which will give $0.475\, g$ of its chloride, is

• A. 0.18 g
• B. 0.12 g
• C. 0.24 g
• D. 0.16 g

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

0.12 g

Answer 2

$\frac{\text { Equivalent weight of metal }}{\text { Equivalent weight of compound }}$ $=\frac{\text { Weight of metal }}{\text { Weight of compound }}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{12}{12+35.5}$ $=\frac{\text { Weight of metal }}{0.475}$ $\Rightarrow$ Weight of metal $=0.12\, g$
