MCQ
Metal oxide has $75\%$ metal. If vapour density of metal chloride is $89$ then atomic weight of metal will be
  • A
    $59.5$
  • $72$
  • C
    $24$
  • D
    $48$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$72$
b
Explanation: Molar mass of $M C l_{x}=2 \times$ [vapordensity]

Molar mass of $M C l_{x}=2$ ltimes $89=178 \mathrm{g}$

$M+x \times 35.5 g / m o l=178$.......$(1)$

Given : metal oxide has $75 \%$ metal.

Thu formula of metal oxide $=M_{2} O_{x}$

percentage of metal $=\frac{2 M}{2 M+16 x}=0.75$

$0.5 \times M=12 x$

$M=24 x$......$(2)$

Solving $(1)$ and $(2)$

$x=3$

thus atomic mass of metal is $24 \times 3=72 g$
