MCQ
An element $X$ reacts with oxygen to form a compound $X_2O_3$. If the atomic mass of $X$ is $91.5$ the equivalent mass of $X$ is
  • $30.5$
  • B
    $45.75$
  • C
    $61$
  • D
    $91.5$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$30.5$
a
In compound $\mathrm{X}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$

$\because 3 \times 16\, g$ of $O$ is combined with $\rightarrow$

$2 \times 91.5 \,\mathrm{g} \text { of } \mathrm{X}$

$8\, \mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{O}$ is combined with $\rightarrow \frac{2 \times 91.5}{3 \times 16} \times 8$

$=30.5\, \mathrm{g} \text { of } \mathrm{X}$

so equivalent weight of $X=30.5$
